Parent, Kevin & Makhmudova, Nilufar. (2024). Assessing derivational affix knowledge among Korean university learners. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 32(1), 171-190. This study aims to investigate the difference between receptive and productive derivational affix knowledge among Korean learners of English and examine the participants word family knowledge in different word classes. In this study, 47 Korean undergraduate students participated. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were applied to investigate their derivational affix knowledge by providing an Affix Elicitation task, a Morpheme Recognition task, and a survey with strategy- and background-soliciting questions. The findings suggest that Korean learners exhibit a relatively higher understanding of the derivational affixes at the receptive level compared to the productive level, though neither level may be said to be particularly high. The examination of the respondents backgrounds illuminates the issue, with the majority claiming either not to have been instructed in the matter or that such instruction was more passing than thorough. The results also show that most learners do not apply affixation as a technique to expand their vocabulary or express their thoughts accurately but, rather, see the various derivational forms as separate words to be studied
