Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of morphology learning in fostering morphological awareness among elementary school students. This study uses a literature review method to examine various research results relevant to the topic of morphology learning in fostering morphological awareness among elementary school students. This study involves an analysis of scientific research published in various databases such as Google Scholar. This study obtained the following results: [1]. Morphological awareness is a metalinguistic ability that enables students to recognize and manipulate morphemes as the smallest meaningful units in words, which has been proven to contribute significantly to the development of vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing skills in elementary school students. [2]. Planned and explicit morphology instruction has been proven effective in fostering morphological awareness, particularly through strategies such as structured word inquiry, morpheme games, and text-based contextual approaches. This study confirms that morphology instruction not only enriches students' knowledge of language structure but also strengthens their literacy foundation from the early grades.
