value. In asking why anyone would want to teach the subject, there are many reasons why it is helpful. First, it is helpful in terms of speech and fluency. The
definability of linguistic units and how they take part in sentence structures allows a speaker to manipulate the units (Katamba, 2004). In some way, the knowledge of morphology allows a
speaker to select proper words. The knowledge enhances many areas of speech and writing inclusive of word selection, spelling and sentence formation. One study reported in Health & Medicine Week
provides information about morphological awareness. The study indicates that morphological awareness is aligned with spelling and reading that is over and above the contribution of phonological awareness along with oral
language skills ("Dyslexia; New dyslexia data have been reported by scientists at University of British Columbia," 2008). In the study, it is noted that those with dyslexia do have lower
scores in terms of morphological awareness tasks ("Dyslexia; New dyslexia data have been reported by scientists at University of British Columbia," 2008). The study also reports that ELL students did
not show a difference from the norm ("Dyslexia; New dyslexia data have been reported by scientists at University of British Columbia," 2008). Interestingly, all of the students tested were not
very sensitive to derivational morphology when required to recognize endings in pseudo-words ("Dyslexia; New dyslexia data have been reported by scientists at University of British Columbia," 2008). This did require
a higher level awareness of morphology than does the recognition of real words ("Dyslexia; New dyslexia data have been reported by scientists at University of British Columbia," 2008). Likely, that
is because the real words may be recognized if used in a context, but the made-up words would have to be analyzed with the use of morphological techniques. Based
