This study delves into the morphological awareness of Saudi learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) and explores potential connections between morphological awareness and reading comprehension. Through conducted assessments, the research aimed to discern the extent of participants' morphological awareness skills and their reading comprehension capabilities in English. The findings indicate that while the participants demonstrated a reasonable grasp of morphological awareness and reading skills in English, the study did not uncover a significant correlational link between the two domains. This research sheds light on the complexities of morphological awareness and reading comprehension among Saudi EFL learners, emphasizing the need for further investigation into the nuanced interplay between these linguistic competencies.
