I. Introduction
Language learners are often faced with difficulties when they read the target language. Using meta-cognitive strategies is considered a method to solve the problems. According to Flavell’s definition of meta-cognition (1979), it is an inpidual’s perception of their own cognitive activities. Meta-cognitive strategies are series of methods including self-planning, self-monitoring and self-regulation.
Cognitive scientists begin to put their attention to the meta-cognition in recent years. So meta-cognition becomes a very powerful idea in the development of cognitive science. There are some related research results published, such as the meta-cognitive strategies. Pan (2006) indicates that theory and practice have great impact on reading. The aim of meta-cognitive strategies is to teach students how to set objectives and how to be effective and independent (Sen 2009). A great number of studies should be made to learn foreign language. Wen Qiufang and Wang Lifei (2004) point out that problem-solving and reading comprehension aim at developing the English reading. 元认知策略在英语阅读中的效果分析:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_16826.html
