摘要：The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between English morphological awareness and receptive vocabulary knowledge of Iranian university students. The study was conducted on 86 undergraduate students, majoring in English Translation at the University of Zanjan. Nation's (1990) Vocabulary Level Test (VLT) was administrated in order to examine the students' knowledge of words drawn from the 2000, 3000, 5000, and academic vocabularies (120 words in total). Two morphological awareness tasks (morpheme identification task and morphological structure test) were also used to assess the students' morphological awareness. Then the results were correlated in order to explore whether morphological awareness is significantly related to vocabulary size of Iranian university students. The result of analysis for the collected data indicated a significant relationship between the students' performance on vocabulary knowledge and morphological awareness. Thus, a major pedagogical implication of the study is that morphological awareness can be an effective vocabulary learning strategy for Iranian university students in learning English vocabulary
