The Influence of English Morphological Awareness on Vocabulary Acquisition of Arab EFL Students in Israel
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This research investigates the impact of English morphological awareness on vocabulary development among Arab junior high school students. Given the distinct morphological differences between Arabic and English, the study examines how an understanding of morphemes—defined as the smallest units of meaning or grammatical function—facilitates vocabulary development in the context of learning English as a second language (ESL). Drawing on survey data from 20 English language teachers, the study explores educators’ perceptions of morphological instruction and its influence on students’ vocabulary proficiency. The findings underscore the critical role of incorporating structured morphological training into ESL curricula to enhance vocabulary acquisition and overall language competence. These findings are consistent with the results of Abdul majeed et al. (2023), they found that morphological analysis can play in important role in learning and teaching English especially in the foundation level. The findings strongly advocate for the integration of morphological awareness into EFL teaching practices, supported by targeted professional development for teachers, moreover the study concludes by recommending the strategic utilization of morphological parallels between Arabic and English to promote more effective language learning outcomes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
