| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated direct and indirect (via vocabulary breadth) contributions of three aspects of morphological knowledge to reading comprehension in English as a foreign language by employing the path analysis. The three aspects were Form (spelling), Meaning, and Use (grammatical class/parts of speech) of derivational morphology. The participants were L1-Japanese university students. All predictor variables showed significant correlations with reading comprehension (ranging from small to medium). The path analysis identified significant direct effects of vocabulary, Meaning, and Use and significant indirect effects of Meaning and Use via vocabulary. The total effect was larger in Use than Meaning. In contrast, there was no significant effect of Form.
