A Comparative Study on English Metacognitive Language Learning Strategy by Chinese EFL Learners of Different Age Groups
Abstract
The efficiency of EFL teaching is largely determined by student’s learning attitude and method. Metacognitive language learning strategies can help students learn how to correctly use language learning strategies to effectively improve their English proficiency. The author’s questionnaire surveyed 500 students from an elementary school, a middle school and a university in the local city. It also described the general features of Metacognitive language learning strategy use in the English learning by Chinese English learners and provided some approaches in strategy training.
