The effect of morphemic analysis instruction on ESL secondary school students’ vocabulary development
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of explicit teaching of morphemic analysis on vocabulary development among ESL low proficiency secondary school students. As the research states that morphology knowledge is vital for decoding complex words, an increase in vocabulary learning was pr...
