Abstract

This literature review explores the significance of vocabulary learning through morphological instruction for English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners. It highlights the critical role of vocabulary in language acquisition and examines various morphological instructional strategies, including both explicit and implicit methods. This review examines theoretical frameworks and the impact of morphology on vocabulary development, as well as empirical studies that evaluate the effectiveness of these instructional approaches. I identified challenges and limitations in implementing morphological instruction, along with learner variables and instructional obstacles. The review concludes with suggestions for future research directions and implications for teaching EAL, emphasizing the need for continued exploration in this area.
