“…Researchers have used different tasks to operationalize morphological awareness that have either included inflectional and/or derivational morphology (Deacon et al, 2008; Fejzo et al, 2018; Maynard et al, 2018). Inflectional morphology provides information about time or quantity by attaching suffixes to a word without changing the meaning or class of the word (e.g., cat, cat-s; walk-ing, walk-s, walk-ed).…”

“…This result is particularly interesting because predictors are generally more effective when they are assessed closer in time to the outcome measures. Taken together, the findings of the existing studies suggest that the skills and processes involved in different morphological awareness measures may vary depending on a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the age of participants, the aspects of morphological awareness (e.g., derivational, inflectional), and the task format (e.g., target words presented with and without a sentence context; Deacon et al, 2008; Fejzo et al, 2018; Maynard et al, 2018).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the early growth of morphological awareness and its predictors. We followed 172 English-speaking Canadian children (82 girls, 90 boys, Mage = 75.56 months at the first assessment point) from Grade 1 to Grade 3 and assessed them on nonverbal IQ, phonological short-term memory, phonological awareness, letter knowledge, and vocabulary at the beginning of Grade 1 and on morphological awareness at the end of Grade 1, beginning and end of Grade 2, and beginning of Grade 3. Results of growth curve modeling showed different growth patterns for Word Analogy and Sentence Analogy. In addition, vocabulary and phonological awareness were associated with the initial status of morphological awareness, and phonological awareness and letter knowledge predicted the growth rate of morphological awareness. These findings suggest that code-related skills drive the development of morphological awareness during the early years of literacy instruction.

L’habileté à détecter et à manipuler la structure morphologique des mots contribue aux performances en lecture et en écriture. Malgré l’importance de la conscience morphologique pour le développement des habiletés langagières, les tâches utilisées pour sa mesure mobilisent des habiletés extrêmement variées. L’objectif de cet article est de mieux comprendre la conscience morphologique de locuteurs du français L2, à l’aide d’une reprise de l’étude de Bourdages et Foucambert (2018). Soixante-sept élèves anglophones en immersion précoce en français (âgés de 8 à 12 ans) ont effectué six tâches différentes traditionnellement utilisées pour mesurer la conscience morphologique. Les données sont analysées à l’aide d’analyses factorielles confirmatoires pour trouver le modèle s’ajustant le mieux aux données recueillies. Contrairement aux résultats pour les locuteurs français L1, les résultats montrent l’importance du type d’unité manipulée et montrent que ces élèves ont de faibles capacités à remarquer et à manipuler les unités morphologiques. Notre discussion porte sur les stratégies visant à promouvoir le développement de la conscience morphologique dans le cadre du programme d’immersion. De manière plus générale, nous soutenons que l’activité métalinguistique devrait être au coeur des programmes d’immersion, car ces capacités soutiennent la production et la compréhension de la langue.
