Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the morphological awareness of 1st to 3rd grade students from multicultural families and non-multicultural families.
Methods: The subjects of this study were 13 students from multicultural families and 13 students from non-multicultural families. The experiments consisted of morphological awareness, decoding, reading fluency, and reading comprehension ability tasks. Frequency of correct answers and frequency of incorrect answers were compared and analyzed for the respective groups.
Results: The results of this study can be summarized as follows. First, there were significant differences in morphological awareness between the two groups, with students from multicultural families performing worse. Additionally, there were significant differences in the opaque type, derivation type, and combination type of morphological awareness tests, again with children from multicultural families performing below their peers. Second, there were significant differences in double use error types and non-transformation error types. The children from multicultural families showed errors more frequently than those from non-multicultural families. Third, there were significant correlations between morphological awareness and all other reading variables in the two groups.
Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that in spite of normal receptive vocabulary development and reading ability, children from multicultural families display lower mean values in morphological awareness than their peers from non-multicultural families.
