Prefix-ation
(Teaching English Prefixes)
Étienne

 Listen to this song.

This song is available on Etienne's Grammar Jams 2.

Also available as an Individual Song Download.


     "Prefixation" is an energetic, hard-rock song targeting the comprehension and manipulation of prefixes. This song is invaluable for English, ESL-EFL-ESOL and Special Education learners of all ages who have trouble grasping the meaning of words that contain prefixes.
     Rather than run to look up a word in the dictionary, this song teaches the meaning of several prefixes so that learners will already be on their way to understanding many words.
     Here are some prefixes and their meanings: Ad- to, toward. Anti -- opposed to. Bi- two. Trans- across. Pre- before. Mis- wrong. Inte- between. Ex- out of. Re- again. Super- over, more than. Sub- under, below. De- or dis- opposite of.

Refrain:
Prefixes precede and advance the meaning.
Without them there, their sense would be misleading.
So if prefixation is what you're seeking
Disconnect your confusion 'cause I'm intervening.

Prefixes change the meaning of everything
Making charged -- supercharged; lasting -- everlasting...

Refrain

Bicycle, bi-level, bilingual, biplane
That's when you have two of the same...

Refrain

Defuse, disinfect, deforest, disobey
De- and dis- make opposites of what you say...

 

This song is available on Etienne's Grammar Jams 2.


The remaining lyrics of the song, along with extension activities and worksheets, are available on Etienne's Grammar Jams 2 CD with Teaching Manual.
