Abstract

It is generally agreed that first language (L1) morphological awareness, the ability to reflect upon, analyze and manipulate morphemes and morphological structure of words, can transfer and facilitate second language (L2) reading subskill acquisition. However, the facilitative role of L1 morphologic...

They also completed a self-reported proficiency questionnaire survey. Correlational and regression analyses were conducted. The results suggested that there was only a significant association between L1 Japanese morphological awareness and L3 Chinese lexical inferencing, and there were no significant correlations between L2 English reading subcomponent skills and L3 Chinese lexical inferencing.
