Abstract

The present study attempts to investigate the contribution of morphological instruction on awareness of morphology and its effects on reading. The participants were 74 freshmen studying at Translation and Interpreting Department and were distributed into experimental and control groups. The results have shown that the experimental group outperformed the control group on all four tasks of morphological awareness including root analysis, derivations and correction of affixes. On the tasks of reading vocabulary experimental group outperformed the control group again, demonstrating positive effects of morphological instruction. It is concluded that morphological treatment benefited morphological awareness and in turn, reading comprehension. The results also demonstrate that submitting an explicit treatment to the EFL learners on morphology helps them improve morphological awareness which is correlated with reading comprehension
