Abstract

The ability to analyze and construct words may be important in learning reading. Therefore, Morphological awareness which refers to the ability to construct and manipulate morphemic words is considered to have contributions on reading ability. The present study is a study used to investigate the level of morphological awareness of English Education students of Walisongo Islamic State University Semarang and also to examine its contribution to reading comprehension. In this study, the researcher administered two kinds of morphological awareness test, morpheme identification (Analytic aspect) test was adapted from Al-Farsi (2008) and morphological structure awareness (Synthetic aspect) test was adapted from Mahony (1994) to 35 English Education students in the year of 2020/2021. The researcher also adopted reading comprehension test from TOEFL test practiced published by the Princeton Review. The result showed that the score mean of Morphological awareness test was 31 out of 78 with standard deviation 17.8 which indicated that students had fair morphological awareness. Further, the score of students’ morphological awareness test correlate with their reading comprehension test score. The finding suggests that the use of morphological activities is needed in the classroom for improving students’ ability and comprehension in reading.
