❇️THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PROCESSES OF WORD-FORMATION IN THE ACQUISITION OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE.#pdf Despite their importance to the foreign learners, processes of word-formation are often neglected in TEFL classrooms and teaching materials. This is a result of negligence of vocabulary as a teaching item in the curriculum and priority given to the rules of sentence construction or language form and structure. Linguistic theories, in general, have not focused on the aspect of the processes of wordformation and their importance in acquiring EFL. Moreover, very little research has been done on the pedagogic state of the processes of word-formation.@ladylinguist
