You need to set up a couple of key bindings. Go to Preferences->Settings->Keyboard pane in your terminal application. Add the following key bindings:
option + cursor left
toESC+b
option + cursor right
toESC+f
When you re-launch the terminal you will be able to move one word to the right pressing option + cursor left
and, analogously, one word to the right by pressing option + cursor right
.
