Metacognition Defined
The simplest definition of metacognition is thinking about your thinking. A more complex
definition that is widely cited within educational literature is an appreciation of what one
already knows, together with a correct apprehension of the learning task and what
knowledge and skills it requires, combined with the ability to make correct inferences
about how to apply one's strategic knowledge to a particular situation and to do so
efficiently and reliably. This definition was originally written by Shawn Taylor in the book
Better Learning through Better Thinking. In simpler terms, this means that metacognition
is being aware of what you know and don't know, understanding what you will need to
know for a certain task and having an idea of how to use your current skills to learn what
you don't know.
What Are Metacognitive Strategies?
The definition above is a mouthful, which makes it seem like a difficult concept, but we
as adults use metacognitive strategies all the time to succeed at tasks in our personal
and professional lives. Imagine that you are a graduate student who needs to write a
dissertation. You already have years of experience in academic writing and know how to
cite sources, find research and write it up. But the format of the dissertation is different
from the work you have previously done, and it's a daunting task because it's such a
long paper. On the first day of your dissertation seminar class, you have a million
questions for the professor. This is a perfect example of you using metacognitive
strategies!
First, you have already considered what you know how to do and acknowledged that you
have some experience with similar tasks. Second, it's clear in your head how you will
apply your current knowledge to this new situation - the Works Cited page will be a
breeze, you know which research search engines yield the best results, you know how to
break big projects into manageable chunks and to create a timeline for this work. Third,
you know how to fill in the blanks and where to turn to get the information you're
lacking. Thanks to your metacognitive strategies at work here, you have everything you
need to get started and to troubleshoot when problems arise during the process.
This is how teachers want students to approach new learning, with students feeling
empowered and not overwhelmed, armed with a toolbox of strategies that help them
tackle new learning and easily make connections to what they already know. Because
these strategies do not come naturally to a lot of students, we must explicitly teach
them, and research shows it makes a big difference in their performance.
Metacognitive awareness means being aware of how you think. In the ELT classroom,
it means being aware of how you learn. Developing metacognitive awareness is an
important part of helping learners become more effective and, importantly, more

autonomous. If learners are conscious of how they learn then they can identify the most
effective ways of doing so.
Example
The teacher asks the learners to keep a diary of their classes in which they can note
what they liked and didn't like and why. They then discuss their ideas and develop
individual and class action plans.
In the classroom
One of the most effective and easiest ways to develop metacognitive awareness is
simply talking with learners about how they do things in the classroom, such as
recording new words, reading a text, and laying out a page in their notebooks.
