Annotation
This article explores the concept of affixiation as a key process in morphology
and its significant role in language learning. Affixiation involves adding prefixes and
suffixes to base words in order to create new lexical items and grammatical forms. The
paper analyzes how mastering affixiation enhances vocabulary acquisition, improves
reading comprehension, and supports learners in developing accurate language use.
Furthermore, the study highlights effective classroom strategies for teaching affixiation
and demonstrates its importance in building independent and confident language users.
