The Role of Morphological Awareness in Reading of Chinese Second Language Learners
This study aimed to explore the role of morphological awareness in reading of Chinese second language learners.Participants'morphological awareness were measured,and the eye movements were recorded by using eye-tracking technology while they read sentences and passages.The results showed that:1)Morphological awareness significantly predicted fixation times on two-character words during sentences reading,with different effects in different components of morphological awareness.2)Morphological awareness not only directly predicted the fluency and accuracy of reading texts,but also indirectly affected the fluency and accuracy of passages reading via vocabulary recognition in different direction.The results indicate that morphological awareness is an important factor to predict reading of Chinese second language learners,with different components play different role in such effects.
