STATEMENT OF PERSONAL LEARNING GOALS

I am studying at this career because English is recognized as the universal language

around the world and it gives us many job opportunities. So I want to get a good job in

the future and although I know that studying a second language is not something easy, I

will put all my effort in order to learn all the rules and the necessary things in order to

express my thoughts and ideas by using this language.

I think Phonology II is an important module because it will help me to develop

phonological knowledge and strategies in order to use them when learning and teaching

English. I will develop 5 main elements during the semester. First, I will identify basic

concepts of L2 related to morphology subject. Then, I will understand different patterns

of word formation. After that, I will be aware of the lexical derivation, mainly the origin

of words. I will also analyze the language by applying morphological structures.

Finally, I will predict examples about possible morphological problems presented in L2.

So at the end of this semester I will be able to 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.

I will achieve all these goals by committing myself to study every day,

attending to classes, and doing my homework. Furthermore, I will practice at home

by reading articles about morphology . I’ll be patient, disciplined, and responsible and

I will keep improving my learning more and more every day.

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

Nowadays the English has been become an important tool of work and

communication, because the English is considered as the universal language.

Furthermore, the English language is considered as a second language in many

countries of the world. Studying English today is a very easy option to practice it.

Before you start studying English we must consider the reasons why it is important to

study this language.

Perhaps the main reason why learning English is so important is because English is

essential when it comes to finding work. The English will give us access to better

education and so much the possibility of a better job. Learning English is important

because it will show other cultures, lifestyles and ways of thinking. Given the

importance of the English language we must focus on the areas that are required to

speak English. The English in an analytical language which requires several skills to

learn it, one of these abilities is the study of Morphology that is a branch of linguistics

which is concerned with the “form of words and the meaning” in different uses and

constructions. That’s why this work is focused on someone activities to help students

who are learning English. Especially for preschoolers children corresponding to a level

A1. The first activity task one is focused on analyzing the different compounds trough

painting pumpkins and hearts and filling in gaps of everyday words. The second task is

focused on recognizing and relating compound words though painting the correct

image. The third task consists in writing compound words relating each pair of a

picture. The second activity task one is focused on identifying Verbs through the

painting the verbs with different color. In the task two students are going to identify the

compound verbs through joining the verb with its right element in order to form a

Page 32: Piedra sadi portfolio phonology ii

32

compound verb. In the third task students are going to rewrite the compound verbs in

order to get in touch with them. In the third activity task one is based on describing

personalities in order to have an idea about compound adjectives. In task two students

are going to identify different types of compound adjectives through the relation with

two pairs of words. In the task three students are going to discover new compound

adjectives through the writing of vowels in spaces in white.

In the fourth activity task one, students are going to draw different types of balls in

order to have a previous knowledge about compounds nouns. In the second task

students are going to relate different words in order to find new compound nouns related

with sport. In the task three students are going to relate different nouns in order to write

different compound nouns. In the fifth activity students will be able to learn some

vocabulary compounds. In task one, they can recognize it. In the task two they should

form new words that are called compounds and finally in the task three students will

learn new words that are very useful.

In the sixth activity the students are going to find new ways to forms expressions or

words. In these three tasks students are going to find new words that at the beginning

will be very difficult to learn but with these exercise they will learn easily. In the

seventh activity the students will be able to learn some vocabulary compounds

containing bound combining forms and also to practice how to link two words and make

a new one with fun activities. The eighth activity the students will practice a little what

are phrasal words and put them in the correct order with help of their teacher. Also they

will learn some words that almost always are linked with body parts. All these activities

will help to students to identify the different types of compounds.

COMPOUNDS WORDS, BLENDS AND PHRASAL WORDS

1. Compounds versus phrases.

Compounds. - Are words formed by combining roots, and the much smaller category

of phrasal words but it is represented just in one word. Compounds are stressed on the

first element (e.g. tóy factory). Compounds tend to have unpredictable meaning.

Phrases are formed by two or more roots and they are represented in two or more

words. Phrases in English are stressed on the last word (e.g. toy fáctory).

Page 34: Piedra sadi portfolio phonology ii

Exercise 1

Identify compounds and phrases by giving examples of pre-writing exercises and

evaluate the students’ comprehension through their production.

Task 1. Painting warm up activity1.

With different color paint the following pumpkins and hearts that contain compound

words.

2. Compound verbs.

Verbs formed by compounding are much less usual than verbs derived by affixation.

Nevertheless, a variety of types exist which may be distinguished according to their

structure:

- Verb–verb (VV): stir-fry, freeze-dry

- Noun–verb (NV): hand-wash, air-condition, steam-clean

- Adjective–verb (AV): dry-clean, whitewash

- Preposition–verb (PV): underestimate, outrun, overcook

All these compounds have a verb as the rightmost element. These kind of compounds

are called compounds right-headed, the rightmost element being the head.

Page 47: Piedra sadi portfolio phonology ii

Exercise 2

Identify the different types of compound verbs and evaluate the students’ knowledge

trough their production in different activities.

3. Compound Adjectives

A compound adjective is an adjective that contains two or more words. In general we

put a hyphen between two or more words (before a noun) when we want them to act as

a single idea (adjective) that describes something. E.g. I live in an English-speaking

country.

English-speaking is an adjective (used to describe the country). We use a hyphen to

connect the word English withspeaking to show that it is one adjective (or one idea).

Here are some examples of right-headed compound adjectives:

* Noun-adjective (NA): oil-rich

* Adjective-adjective (AA): red-hot

* Preposition-adjective (PA): overactive

4. Compound Nouns

A compound noun is a noun that is made up of two or more words. A compound noun is

usually [noun + noun] or [adjective + noun], but there are other combinations, such as:

* Verb-noun (VN): breakfast

* Noun-noun(NN): football

* Adjective-noun(AN): blackboard

* Preposition-noun(PN): underworld

5. Headed and Headless compounds

Headless and Headed Compounds

Headless compounds are compound words where the meaning is not specified by

any of parts. Headless compounds are usually pluralized by adding /s/. It’s as if the

headless compounds an indivisible unit and the plural marker cannot see inside it to

pluralize it according to the how the head word is normally pluralized.

Headed compounds are specified by the head word in the whole compound.

On the other hand, headed compounds from their plurals the same way their head words

from their plurals. So the headed compound maple leaf a kind of leaf ± is pluralized

maple leaves.

6. Blends and Acronyms

7.

A blending is a combination of two or more words to create a new one, usually by

taking the beginning of the other word and the end of the other one. So new words like

spork (spoon + fork), fanzine (fan + magazine), bromance (brother + romance) or

Spanglish (Spanish + English) are created.

An acronym is way to form word, it is similar to abbreviation, when each first letter

of the source word is taken and to form new acronym. In English we can find like

NASA (national aeronotics and space administration), VIP (very important person),

NATO (north Atlantic treaty organization), etc. Acronym is forming words from the

initials of a group of words that designate one concept.

Morphology I

Professor : Licda. Mg. Ruth Infante

Learning Outcome 5: Essay about the importance of morphology in the teaching of

English language in Ecuador

Ecuador occupies the 35th place in countries with low levels of English, according to

the recent publication of English Proficiency Index (EF EPI), an annual report that

compiles global language training company Education First. This reflects the need to

create educational proposals that encourage bilingualism in the population in order to

have a complete education and to be ready to enter to the occupational world.

Morphology is the part of linguistics that deals with studying the internal structure of

words. Thus, it attempts to define, classify and define the basic units that make up

words, the types of words that can be formed with them and the types of processes by

which they are formed. For this reason, this discipline could become an important pillar

to improve every student's abilities, since the word is a basic tool for understanding and

expression of concepts, and the mastery of it powers capabilities such as knowing,

understanding, analyzing, and evaluating. That is, if students develop a good linguistic

competence based on the correct spelling of words in English, they are on the right way

for the development of core competencies of the basic communication skills of this

language.

Page 93: Piedra sadi portfolio phonology ii

93

In conclusion, due to the importance of English today, learning this language should

always be a continuous process by using a set of methods and procedures, particularly

with the use of semantic phenomena in order to relate them, which must accompany the

grammar, audio lingualism, and vocabulary, to better understand the construction of

words, the rules of formation and structures of them. It will allow grammatical

creativity and exploration, and discovery of meaning, which are characteristic of human

language.

FINAL REFLECTION

English is a language that has adopted a significant international importance in all

areas and because of that, it has created a need in society to learn English in order to use

it as a means of communication. The main goal that most students have when they are

learning a second language, in this case English, is to get to communicate effectively

because learning a new language is learning a new way to express what we feel and

what we have in mind.

Today's society requires efficient communication skills. The possibilities of work,

study, and social relations depend largely on our ability to interact with others and

because of this it is very important to learn how to identify, analyze and describe the

structure of a English morphemes and other linguistic units, such as root

words, affixes, parts of speech, intonations and stresses, or implied context. That is why

I really believe Phonology II is a very useful module that has helped me to develop

phonological knowledge and strategies in order to use them when learning and teaching

English.

In conclusion, this module helped me as a future teacher to learn the correct use of

words in context depending on the origin of them and the different uses of the lexis and

because of that I want to continue improving and become a skilled student by making

use of linguistic elements, psychological processes, and the sociocultural aspects in

order to apply them in the teaching-learning process in an effective way someday.
