The process of reading skill acquisition is influenced by many aspects. Reading strategy of the students is viewed as the ability of the students to use different ways to get the information from the text and how to use the ways in different context. The metacognition on reading strategy is to activate learners' understanding and emotional processes while reading. Predicting reading skill explicitly, morphological awareness is playing its role to manipulate and understand the word morpheme to understand new vocabulary. The research was aimed at examining the contribution of metacognitive reading strategy awareness and morphological awareness toward reading proficiency.
To find the direct and indirect contribution among the variables, a quantitative research with path analysis model was conducted. There were three instruments utilized to collect the data. The first was Metacognitive Reading Strategy Awareness Questionnaire (MRSA) which adopted to measure students' metacognitive reading strategy awareness. The second, a test namely morphological awareness test was adopted to quantify students' morphological awareness. The last, to obtain the data of reading proficiency, a set of TOEFL reading test was adopted. There were 100 fourth semester students of English department as the research participants.
The results of the research revealed that there was low significant direct contribution of metacognitive reading strategy awareness toward morphological awareness (estimate 320; p (.000)
