Keywords: Word formation process, slang word, covid-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic makes our vocabularies more extensive, especially in English slang words. The words such as covidiot, covidient, and coronacation are examples of new slang words that appeared during the COVID-19 pandemic. How the word is created can be learned in word formation process theory. This study with the title "The Analysis of Word Formation Process in Appeared Slang Words During COVID-19 Pandemic" has the aims of finding the kind of word formation process that is used in newly appearing slang words, the most frequent type of word formation process that is used in newly appearing slang words, and the contribution of learning word formation process to English teaching. This thesis methodology was the qualitative method, which relied on verbal data, and the data had been explained descriptively. The researcher took the data from the websites DailyMail, Thony Thorne, and Dictionary.com until he got enough data. This thesis used the word formation process theory of George Yule to analyze how slang words were created. The researcher also used an online dictionary named Urban Dictionary to translate it and social media sites like Twitter to find examples of slang words that were used. There were six types of word formation processes found, such as blending, compounding, clipping, hypocorism, initialization, and multiple processes. Blending was a type of word formation process that was most commonly used in forming slang words. Next, learning the word formation process can make a contribution to English teaching because it?s good for vocabulary mastery.
