Whissell-Turner, Kathleen; Fejzo, Anila – Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics / Revue canadienne de linguistique appliquée, 2021
By the end of primary school, students are confronted with expository texts known for their high proportion of domain-specific academic vocabulary words. These words usually comprise Greek or Latin roots in their internal structure. Recent findings showed that knowledge of Greek and Latin roots is related to reading comprehension. However, no…
