Abstract | This paper reports a study of use of metacognitive and cognitive strategies in second language (L2) reading among 169 Chinese English learners (ELLs) at the university level. They answered a questionnaire, which asked them to retrospectively report the frequency of adopting metacognitive and cognitive strategies in completing a reading test, which consisted of two parts: a fast reading and a reading in-depth. Their format of the reading test was a mock College English Reading Band 4 reading section. According to students’ performance in the reading test, they were grouped into high-, moderate- and low-achieving L2 readers. Within the same level of the reading proficiency, repeated ANOVAs found a similar pattern amongst high-, moderate- and low-achieving L2 readers that they used metacognitive strategies more frequently than cognitive strategies. Between different levels of reading proficiency, one-way ANOVAs and post-hoc analyses revealed that high-achieving readers adopted metacognitive reading strategies significantly more frequently than lowachieving readers, which suggested that they were better at self-regulation in reading English. |
