dc.description.abstractAs far as reading comprehension is one of the main objectives pursued by any language course, this paper reports on an action-research project conducted with the participation of six subjects who were TOEIC candidates at the time. The purpose behind this AR is to explore the effects of explicit teaching on morphological awareness upon reading comprehension skills. The six participants attended to four training sessions and the effects were assessed through the application of a pre and a post-test. In addition, subjects’ opinions were collected through a survey to provide this research with a qualitative aspect. Results suggest that explicit teaching of morphological awareness is an effective method to improve reading comprehension in EFL and the opinions collected through the survey show that subjects perceived the usefulness of morphological awareness on their learning process.
