This study examines Greek learners’ awareness of English-Greek False Friends (FF), i.e. lexical items that display semantic differences despite bearing morpho-phonological resemblance. Exploring whether FF constitute a hindrance or a facilitating factor in EFL, the authors conducted a study with 63 Greek adult learners of English. Twenty-five pairs of words (excluding distractors) were employed in two written tasks to examine learners’ performance in correlation with their English language proficiency. Findings suggest that subjects faced significant difficulties in FF recognition, while they performed better in identifying FF etymologically related to their L1. Moreover, L2 competence did not prove to affect systematically respondents’ performance. |
