Opis

The work is an investigation of students' metacognitive awareness of reading strategies among Moroccan English as a Foreign Language (EFL) university students. In addition, it is an attempt to explore the extent to which students are aware of the metacognitive processes utilized while engaged in reading. Moreover, the project identifies the types of strategies that third year university students use in reading English materials. In meeting the objectives of this work, the author has created an instrument that gathered data by using a questionnaire comprising ten choices underlying metacognitive strategies. This research concludes by highlighting findings that help improve metacognitive strategy instruction, as well as limitations for future research.
