Abstract:Vocabulary plays a critical role in English. How vocabulary is taught has always been the focus of English teachers’ research. However, what is the best way to teach English vocabulary to non-native speakers? It still remains a question. Fortunately, many methods have been proposed. As a would-be English teacher, I try my best to research how to teach English vocabulary from morphological perspective.
My thesis discusses some aspects of morphology, including the definitions of morphemes, morphological structure and the main processes of word-formation of the language. Meanwhile, I analyze how the morphology study is applicable to English vocabulary teaching and learning in senior school; finally I propose some practical methods of vocabulary teaching from a morphological perspective.
Key words: vocabulary teaching; morphology study; morpheme; word-formation
