| Abstract (English): | This paper deals with the importance of morphological awareness for achieving language literacy. Not only does language learning in itself require great commitment on the part of students, but also on the part of teachers. When talking about teaching a foreign language, every teacher must be aware of the fact how important grammar disciplines and all the rules that these disciplines impose are for language literacy. Without rules, it is not possible to communicate, and that is the essence of learning any foreign language. More and more researchers are coming to the conclusion that the field of morphology is very important for achieving language literacy. Word formation rules, morphological processes and all other morphological rules are important for a successful learning any foreign language. The knowledge that students have about morphology as a linguistic discipline, all the rules that morphology includes refer to morphological awareness. At the end of this paper all recent research on this topic will be compared with research conducted among students of English language and literature at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Mostar. This research is an important part of this paper because it gives results about the students’ attitudes as future English language teachers. In their answers to the questionnaire, not only did the respondents (students) emphasize the importance of morphological awareness for language literacy, but they also showed their knowledge about this topic, as well as how much they are willing to make changes in their learning, if necessary, to make greater progress.

| Abstract (Bosnian): | Ovaj rad se bavi važnošću morfološke svijesti za postizanje jezične pismenosti. Učenje jezika zahtijeva veliku posvećenost ne samo studenata, nego i učitelja. Kada je riječ o poučavanju stranog jezika, svaki učitelj mora biti svjestan važnosti poznavanja gramatičkih pravila za jezičnu pismenost. Bez pravila, nije moguće komunicirati i to je ključ učenja bilo kojeg stranog jezika. Sve više istraživača dolaze do zaključka da je morfologija iznimno važna za postizanje jezične pismenosti. Pravila tvorbe riječi, morfološki procesi i morfološka pravila su od iznimne važnosti za usješno učenje stranog jezika. Znanje koje studenti imaju o morfologiji kao lingvističkoj disciplini, kao i sva pravila koja morfologija podrazumijeva odnose se na morfološku svijest. Na kraju ovoga rada sve nedavna istraživanja o navedenoj temi bit će uspoređena sa istraživanjem provedenim među studentima engleskog jezika i književnosti na Filozofskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Mostaru. Provedeno istraživanje je važan dio navedenog rada zato što iznosi rezultate o stavu studenata kao budućih profesora engleskog jezika. U odgovorima na postavljena pitanja u upitniku, ispitanici (studenti) su istaknuli važnost morfološke svijesti za jezičnu pismernost, ali su također pokazali svoje znanje o navedenoj temi i koliko su spremni, ako je potrebno, napraviti promjene u svom učenju u svrhu postizanja većeg uspjeha.
