Students who can analyze word parts, called morphemes, and their study, morphology in order to build larger vocabularies do better at reading comprehension. Recent research has suggested that children can be taught explicit morphological strategies and that these strategies hold true for ESL learners. This present study attempts to fill the gap in the research pertaining to EFL settings, and especially the question of whether in a Korean setting, Explicit Morphological instruction (EMI) is a more effective alternative to the traditional paper-based morphological instruction (PMI) found in Korean classrooms. Two groups were given a 12-week treatment of either EMI (n=40) or PMI (n=40) and compared to a control group. Quantitative analysis suggests that the treatments had a significant impact on the learners’ ability to decipher vocabulary, increase reading fluency and comprehension, and also perform better in general English tasks involving grammar, speaking and listening. It was also found that learners receiving EMI were more motivated in their attitudes towards class and reading English.
Abstract
Students who can analyze word parts, called morphemes, and their study, morphology in order to build larger vocabularies do better at reading comprehension. Recent research has suggested that children can be taught explicit morphological strategies and that these strategies hold true for ESL learners. This present study attempts to fill the gap in the research pertaining to EFL settings, and especially the question of whether in a Korean setting, Explicit Morphological instruction (EMI) is a more effective alternative to the traditional paper-based morphological instruction (PMI) found in Korean classrooms. Two groups were given a 12-week treatment of either EMI (n=40) or PMI (n=40) and compared to a control group. Quantitative analysis suggests that the treatments had a significant impact on the learners’ ability to decipher vocabulary, increase reading fluency and comprehension, and also perform better in general English tasks involving grammar, speaking and listening. It was also found that learners receiving EMI were more motivated in their attitudes towards class and reading English.
