This paper examines English L2 derivational suffix development among Korean EFL learners. Two groups of middle school students, seventh (N=18) and ninth (N=16) graders, were given both real word sentence completion task and pseudoword sentence completion task. The task materials measuring students’ knowledge of derivational suffixes include seven types of derivational suffixes (-able, -ful, -ive, -ment, -ness, -ion, and -ly). Twenty sentences were created and students were asked to complete the sentences using a given base form of word. The results indicated that 1) the suffixes -able, -ive, and -ment were regarded as rather difficult morphemes for the students to choose in those syntactic contexts than the suffixes -ly, -ful, -ion, and -ness; 2) the developmental accuracy in suffixes such as -able, -ive, -ment, and -ness was found; 3) the knowledge of derivational suffixes in each part of speech was developed across grades with suffixes denoting adjective being the most difficult, and 4) a developmental accuracy in the performance of noun category was found. Further discussions and implication for the learning of derivational suffixes in EFL were addressed.
