Key words: metacognition, cognitive processes, metacognitive strategies, metacognitive awarenessAbstract
Metacognition, the ability to monitor and regulate one's cognitive processes, has emerged as a crucial factor in language acquisition. This article aims to explore the multifaceted role of metacognition in language learning, highlighting its importance in various stages of the language acquisition process. By examining empirical research and theoretical frameworks, we elucidate how metacognitive strategies enhance language learners' ability to monitor, regulate, and reflect upon their language learning experiences. Furthermore, we discuss the implications of metacognition for language instruction and propose strategies to foster metacognitive awareness in language learners.
