To better understand how morphological awareness affects ESL (English as a Second Language) learning among Uzbekistani students, this study examines the subject. This acknowledges the growing significance of English in international trade and communication. To thoroughly explore the effect of morphological awareness on ESL proficiency, the study used a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The results show a significant relationship between morphological awareness and general language competency, reading comprehension, and word retention. Learners who comprehend English morphemes more fully exhibit improved language abilities. The study emphasizes how morphological education may alter ESL pedagogy by giving students valuable vocabulary-building tools, reading comprehension, and a deep understanding of English. Future studies should investigate efficient methods for raising ESL students' morphological awareness and the long-term effects of morphological training on language competency.
