International Journal of Korean Language Education 3(2), 61-80. Of late, morphological awareness has become increasingly recognized as an important factor that influences new word acquisition as well as enhancing a learner’s word reading and reading comprehension. Studies on morphological awareness have suggested that morphological awareness in one language helped predict a noteworthy variance in reading words in another language. This implies that morphological awareness enables word reading across different orthographies. However, most of these studies have only focused on morphological awareness when it comes to English language acquisition.
Therefore, this paper seeks to look into the role that morphological awareness has to play in cross language transfer focusing primarily on English and Korean language. Furthermore, it looks into the application of this role that morphological awareness has to play in the context of India.
