Hello-
I am doing a project with my adult ESL class for a
grad class I am taking. 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!

Sherry
