I want to look at the extent to which explicit instruction of affixes and some common roots can help the students pull apart unfamiliar English words. Can anyone point me to any work that has been done on this subject? I'm finding plenty of SLA theories on acquiring lexical items but no actual studies on using affixes and roots to promote acquisition. Thank you!
