The use of morphemes during spoken and written language without any conscious attention given to those morphemes

Question 19

Implicit awareness tasks

Answer 19

Required individuals to use only a low level of morphological analysis
less conscious analysis of the words morphological structure
Allows the individual to also apply some world knowledge because of ample contextual support

Question 20

Explicit awareness

Answer 20

Require individuals to stop at a deeper level of morphological analysis
Greater focus on conscious analysis of the morphological structure of words with less contextual support to aid in providing an answer on task items
generally administered in written form
I’m administered in spoken language others administered in written language

Segmenting tasks

Answer 21

Increase students conscious awareness of the number of spoken morphemes in words
