The object of this study is to test the hypothesis that our students will learn IT English terms more quickly and efficiently if we may help them comprehend and associate or be reminded of the meaning of the words by utilizing knowledge of word formation as they come across derivatives or compounds of IT terms. The followings is a summary of the results of the experiment. (1) Cognitive understanding of word formation in IT terms. It became evident that comprehension of word formation in an IT term or its meaning, and association with those, prompts the students remember IT English words more easily. (2) Practice and result of teaching for cognitive understanding and a semantic priming effect In the lesson we taught IT terms illustrating an interrelation between prefixes and suffixes and other word parts in a semantic network that we aimed for students' cognitive understanding though a semantic priming effect. Students understood well as measured by 3 consecutive short tests of IT vocabulary. Readout time (the time students need for reacting to the questioned words when trying to remember or associate) was shorter after the lesson than before; (correct answer) rate was also higher. The results proved the hypothesis.
