Application of Affix in English Teaching Abstract Vocabulary teaching runs through the whole period of English teaching in university. Expansion of vocabulary is the first step to improve comprehensive level of English. To solve word problems, the study of affixation plays a vital role in English vocabulary learning.

The first is source. It mainly stems from Romanic, Latin, Greek, and English. The second is classification. It can be divided into prefix, infix, and suffix. The third is emotive function.
