Use the words in capitals to form a word that fits in the space in the same line !How to Teach Word Formation and Parts of Speech Charts Create a chart/table that has four columns for noun/verb/adjective/adverb and as many rows as new vocabulary words you introduce. It’s beneficial to give students their own individual chart so that they can use it for studying, but it would also be helpful to keep a large chart in the classroom so students can easily be reminded of the patterns found within. Don’t feel obliged to complete all four columns for every word as not every word in English neatly breaks down into these four word forms. Sometimes a word won’t have all of the forms, or the forms may be rarely used in English. Having gaps in the chart will reinforce the idea that they can’t always apply these patterns. Teach common suffixes By using a chart as recommended above, students will also begin to see similarities among word endings. Help them to discover the most common endings for parts of speech and even relationships between parts of speech. For example, guide them to figuring out that adjectives ending in –able/-ible often take the noun ending –ity. (e.g.responsible- responsibility; possible-possibility; capable- capability) Here are some other patterns to help your students discover within the chart: · Common endings – · Nouns for things = ment; -ity; -ness; -tion · Nouns for people = -er; -or; -ist · Verbs = rarely have special endings because they get manipulated for tense; usually the shortest word form · Adjectives = -ous; -able/-ible; -al; -ed/-ing; -ful/-less; -ic; -ive · Adverbs = -ly · To form an adverb, add –ly to the adjective form (not the noun/verb form) · If two word forms are the same, it will usually be the noun and verb (e.g.: parent, answer, guess). · Nouns ending in –tion will usually take the –al suffix for adjectives. Be sure to stress to your students that these are patterns, not “rules,” and that there will be some exceptions to most of these patterns. However, by establishing these patterns concretely, students will be able to vastly improve their vocabulary quickly, and they will more readily notice and remember exceptions to the pattern.
