The readability and concordance tools are very useful in designing materials. For instance, I will use readability tool to measure if the text is suitable to the English level of students. Also, I will use concordance to emphasize the usage of some vocabulary that we will work on. I will show them in which surroundings these words are being used. When students have a chance to see more examples, they understand it better.
But sometimes, there can be some problems. As computer hasn't mind and does everything automatically, it sometimes makes errors. So as teachers, we should double check it before sharing with students.
