Part 1: Interview
Q1: How does morphology relate to the language development of English learners?
“Morphology is a structure and construction of words by using word structure, including
roots, affixes or prefixes. Consider one example in which root word is ‘work’ comes under
complex morpheme and could be changed into words such as worker, or working. One of the
main developments for English learners is to gather understanding for words, spellings so
that student’s vocabulary is increased. English learners can create new words, and it will
also increase the ability to communicate verbally and writing.”
Q2: What strategies are used in the classroom to determine learners' hindrances
regarding morphology?
“I always feel that morphology awareness must be brought so that learner’s hindrances
could be removed. Chart activity is an effective approach to create a tree-like structure for
root words, suffix and prefixes. Next, suffix could be of any type and thus require students for
introducing them including ed, fully, ing, t, d and s.”
Q3: What types of activities would you use to address these gaps?
“I implement several activities inside the classroom to address the gaps in context with
morphology awareness. Following activities have been implemented in the classroom to
overcome some issues. Activity #1: Determine root words from the English language
I offer them some complex words, including crying, falling, dogs, enjoyment, working,
respectfully etc. Activity #2: Differentiate Prefix and Suffix for Given Words
I always find it amusing that after offering complex words, students themselves
separate it into prefix and suffix through the match the column. Activity #3: Building of Words
My next step for them is to create new words through root words and suffix or
prefixes options. Activity #4: Use build words into small sentences
Lastly, I make them use words in smaller sentences for written communication in the
English language.”
