摘要

This paper discusses the question of how to teach word-formation knowledge effectively. To achieve a better result, teachers may not only be interested in the form, meaning and function of a certain word part, but also in such aspects as the determining factor which governs the choice of variant forms and the various changes brought about by the word-formation process. When teaching word parts, teachers are advised to pay attention to their usefulness and productiveness and draw their learners’ attention to various linguistic patterns. A tentative procedure is suggested for the effective teaching of word-formation knowledge.
