  1. Morphological awareness training following the principles of MSL learning

  2. Morphological awareness training Project-Number: 518466-LLP-1-2011-PL-COMENIUS-CMP Grant agreement number: 2011-3631/001-001 Morphemes are the smallest linguistic units with a meaning (e.g. ‘unhappy,’ ‘unlucky,’ ‘unsatisfied’) or a grammatical function (e.g. ‘looks,’ ‘looked’), Some words cannot be further broken down (e.g. ‘car’), they are free morphemes since they can stand alone, Bound morphemes (e.g. ‘un-,‘ ‘-s,’ or ‘-ed’) are always attached to some other morphemes

  3. Morphological awareness training Project-Number: 518466-LLP-1-2011-PL-COMENIUS-CMP Grant agreement number: 2011-3631/001-001 Bound morphemes (affixes) are classified into prefixes, which attach to the beginning of words, and suffixes, which attach to the end of words, Bound morphemes can be also divided, according to their function in complex words, into derivational and inflectional morphemes,

  4. Morphological awareness training Project-Number: 518466-LLP-1-2011-PL-COMENIUS-CMP Grant agreement number: 2011-3631/001-001 Derivational morphemes have a power to derive (create) new words, either by changing the original word’s meaning (e.g. ‘un-‘ added to ‘happy’) or its part of speech (e.g. ‘-ness’ added to ‘quick’), Inflectional morphemes do not form new words but change the existing ones by refining and giving extra information (e.g. ‘-s’ added to ‘cat’).

  5. Morphological awareness training Project-Number: 518466-LLP-1-2011-PL-COMENIUS-CMP Grant agreement number: 2011-3631/001-001 Inflectional morphemes occur at the end of a word, following derivational morphemes, In English there are eight inflexional morphemes, they all are suffixes (‘-s’ 3rd person singular present, ‘-s’ plural, ‘-ed’ past tense, ‘-ing’ progressive, ‘-en’ past participle, ‘-‘s’ possessive, ‘-er’ comparative and ‘-est’ superlative)

  6. Students use cards and movable devices with words and morphemes to form word families Project-Number: 518466-LLP-1-2011-PL-COMENIUS-CMP Grant agreement number: 2011-3631/001-001
