STATEMENT OF PERSONAL GOALS
English is one of the most important languages around the
world and the most fluent in any country that’s why it is
indispensable to know about this language and we have the
opportunity of understand everything in order to know what is
happening around the world. Furthermore, I think that learning
this beautiful language is very important nowadays to obtain a
better life.
At the moment that I decide to study this language I kept in
mind that I was doing the right thing, and with the pass of those
semesters I have been improving and achieving my pronunciation
in speaking, my manner to write in writing and also my reading
and listening skills. This subject is very useful for training us as
future teachers, so I will practice hard to achieve my goal.
To sum up this subject is one of the most important in this
level, because here we can put in practice the four skills that are
very important for our development.

III. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Purpose
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the word formation of English. That
knowledge will let them make teaching desicions when planning, organizing and
evalauating the English Teaching and Learning process.
Course Description: (Abstract)
The course will aim to develop phonological knowledge and strategies in order to use
them when learning and teaching English.
This course will develop 5 main elements during the semester. First, students will
identify basic concepts of L2 related to morphology subject. Then, they will understand
different patterns of word formation. After that, students will be aware of the lexical
derivation, mainly the origin of words. They will also analyze the language by applying
morphological structures. Finally, students will predict examples about possible
morphological problems presented in L2.
The methodology that will be applied in the development of the module is Kolb´s
strategies and basically ABP, and English methodology as cognitive and meta-
cognitive strategies which may help students develop an independent learning. Some
of the evaluation instruments such a mind maps, charts, oral presentations will be
applied in order to get critical thinking and students´ own conclusion according to each
topic.
This course will contribute with the development of accuracy of language, in other
words, the correct use of words in context depending on the origin of word and the
different uses of the lexis.
Course General Objective:
Make use of linguistic elements, psychological processes, and the sociocultural aspects
in order to apply them in the teaching-learning process in an effective way
Course Specific Objectives :
1. Identify basic concepts of L2 related to morphophonemic subject.
2. Compare different patterns of word formation and their pronunciation.
3. Analyze the lexical derivation, mainly the origin of words.
4. Investigate the language by applying morphological structures.
5. Provide their own examples about possible morphological problems presented
in L2

Introduction
“I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there
are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium
is the human mind and spirit”. John Steinbeck
Nowadays teaching children depends of teachers, in what way they teach. For that reason in
this document we will provide some activities for A2, it will help students to develop their
skills especially speaking and improve their knowledge about compound words, blends and
phrasal words without mistakes.
We are going to focus in the study of compound words, blends and phrasal words. The first
are formed by combining roots, the second are roots that are reproduced only partially in the
compound, and the third have the structure of phrases but function as words.
On the other hand, the distinction between compounds and phrases depends on sound and
meaning. For example: “hair nét” and “háirnet” in the first expression the main stress is on
net, while in the second is on hair. The first expression is a phrase, because in English
language phrases are stressed on the last word, whereas the second one is a compound,
because they are stressed on the first element. However, this stress only applies to compound
nouns. Otherwise, consider the compound word “overactive” the head of the compound is
the adjective active derived from the verb act.
In contrast, the word faintheart is headless, because as a noun is not determined by either of
its two components. As a result, headless are nouns in which the second element is not a noun
at all. Furthermore, some nouns are formed by a verb and a preposition or adverb (e.g.) “take-
off”. Some nouns are formed from verbs by conversion where the base could be a verb plus
another word and they could constitute a lexical item (e.g.) “The plane took off at noon”.
Hence, the headless compounds are called exocentric, because they are not determined by
any element inside them, and headed compounds are called endocentric, because they have
an internal center.
Blends are roots that are reproduced only partially in the compound (e.g.) “smog” blended
from “smoke and fog”. Besides, partial blends are compounds where only one component is
truncated (e.g.) “talkathon” from “talk plus marathon”. Otherwise, Acronyms are reductions
to just one sound of a blend (e.g.) RAM (random access memory). Instead, “sonar” is an
intermediate between and acronym and a blend (from sound navigation and ranging).

27
Combining forms are compounds that are made up of bound roots. Especially the vocabulary
in scientific and technical areas of English language (e.g.) anthropology, the meaning of the
word is determined from each part (anthrop (o) - “human”, plus - (o) logy - “science or
study”) this word means “science or study of human beings”, most of these words come from
Greek or Latin borrowed in western Europe in the XV and XVI centuries, known as “The
Renaissance”. As a consequence, when compounds are expressed different because of syntax
are called Phrasal Words (e.g.) “hair restorer” (this substance restores hair) not (this
substance hair-restores) because there is a difference between compound word structure and
sentence structure. In contrast, to make the plural in the phrasal word jack-in-the-box we need
to add the suffix -s, but not in the head noun “jack” but to the whole expression “jack-in-
the-boxes” because it behaves as a word.
The first activity is about the distinction between compounds and phrasal words. This task
offers multiple choices where students will be able to recognize them. Moreover, they will
have the opportunity to practice their speaking skills through it. Finally, they will be able to
make sentences using them. The main aim of this activity is teach them the difference among
compounds and phrasal words pronunciation, because the compound words have the stress
on the first word, while the phrasal words have on the last one.
The second activity is about compound verbs. We will provide exercises of writing and
speaking where they could learn what a compound verb is and the classification to form
compound verbs which may be distinguished according to their structure. First, they will
learn about these compounds with some examples. Second, they will practice and recognize
what is the correct compound. In the task three, we could notice if they learn because they
have to complete a chart depending the classification to form compound verbs.
The third activity is similar to the previous activity because the compound adjective and
compound verbs are alike in their structure a classification. This activity has three exercises,
too. The student have the opportunity to practice their speaking and work with partners to
know and identify compound adjectives. First, they will know how is formed a compound
adjective. Second, they will recognize these type of compounds and finally they will create
sentences and share them with other people.
The fourth activity is about compound nouns. The first task offers the opportunity to
recognize this kind of words, but at the same time memorize it. The next task, helping

28
students to develop their knowledge with compound nouns with the writing method. Finally,
they will be supposed to know a lot about compound nouns and create it.
The fifth activity is about headed and headless compounds. In this task will offer some words
to understand the topic. After, we should be associated the words with the correct picture to
understand better that the first activity. Finally, they will be able to recognize, read and write
about the topic.
The activity number sixth is about phrasal word. This activity offers a new vocabulary about
the phrasal word related to family members. Students will be able to recognize and
familiarized with the new words. Furthermore, students will be able to develop reading and
speaking skills through drill in the structure of a conversation .Finally they are going to
practice the phrasal word in a real situation.
The activity number seventh is about blends and acronyms words. This activity offers good
examples to learn what is blends words and acronyms .Students will be able to differentiate
between blends and acronyms words .Also they will able to understand how blends words
are composed.
The activity number eight is about compounds containing bound combining forms, the first
activity is about identify Compounds containing bound combining forms and evaluate the
student comprehension trough speaking practice and writing practice. Students will be able
to recognize the root of bound combining forms.
In conclusion, through this chapter we are going to contrast the distinction between
compound words, blends and phrasal words. In order to achieve this aim we have developed
some exercises focused in speaking skills applied to children from 9 – 10 years old (basic
users) from A2 level according to the Common European Framework. Also, these tasks could
be apply for a fifteen student class.

Compound verbs
Compound verbs are verbs formed by compounding. You will notice that all these
compounds have a verb as the rightmost element. There is a classification to form compound
verbs which may be distinguished according to their structure:
verb–verb (VV): freeze-dry
noun–verb (NV): steam-clean
adjective–verb (AV): whitewash
preposition–verb (PV): overcook
Task 1 – Warm–up

Conclusion
The work helps us to clarify concepts about the chapter six: “Compound words, blends
and phrasal verbs” thanks to the different exercises applying in this element. We could
say that this kind of activities also will help the teacher and students to develop their
skills. Most of these activities teach specific skills.

61
However, in our group we tried to focus on speaking skill but also we consider that it is
an opportunity for Basic Users to learn social skills like cooperation, integration, and
socialization between classmates. It is important to clarify that the participation in these
activities can readily show them how to appropriately interact with others in order to use
the different words in a correct way.
Furthermore, it will be useful for teachers because they can use these activities in different
ways most of these activities encourage creativity. So, not only help Basic Users learn
problem-solving skills but also encourage their natural curiosity as a result the students
will be motivated to learn the second language in an interactive way.
In our case we thought that the following activities such as word search, fill in gaps, match
pictures, underline words, conversation, etc. They are kind of activities that will help
student to develop their skills. Additionally, Basic Users can explore their individual
talents and feel greater confidence as they discover their abilities practicing these kinds
of activities.
Finally, from our point of view we regard that the purpose of this chapter was to
understand and clarify doubts about this chapter with the help of the exercises that will
be very useful for us as future teachers

The importance of teaching morphology in the English language in the Ecuador
is really necessary for students because is a good way to interpret the meaning of words
and its roots to create sentences, phrases, words, etc. Morphology is the identification,
analysis and description of the structure of a given language's morphemes and other
linguistic units, such as root words, affixes, parts of speech, intonations and stresses, or
implied context.
All teachers in every subject should know a little of morphology to get the best
attention of students and the best comprehension. It is indispensable to get knowledge
of this subject to introduce in the classroom for a good understanding of words by
students. Teachers should keep in mind that the benefit of teaching this subject is for
students that study English, at the moment to apply words in this language and interpret
in a good way for people comprehension.
This subject is really necessary and important for students because this is a base
to create whatever they want with the English language. However, each student should
study so hard this subject because is really complex, but at the moment to understand
this subject will be easy. You just need to pay attention in every moment to understand
each part of this subject to apply in a daily routine and also do more easily the
knowledge of this subject in English language in Ecuador.
The communication is important as a puzzle where every pieces seem together,
that’s why it is helpful at the moment to interpret or give opinion with others. It is really
necessary that teachers and students should give all their effort to put on practice the
morphology in the English language. This subject is one of the most important steps to
know other language and obtain a good conversation with strange people.
To sum up, the importance of teaching morphology in the English language in
Ecuador is really necessary to create smart students with knowledge and a high
coefficient to interpret all things in this second language that I learn.
