eta-cognitive strategies level in reading and train their  meta-cognitive  strategies.  As  an  empirical  study,  this  research  is  to  help  students improve  their  meta-cognitive  strategy  awareness  by  training  the  meta-cognitive strategies  so  that  they  could  benefit  from  the  study  and  eventually  form  the  habit  of independent learning. As we all know, reading plays a vital part in English language learning. Therefore, most  universities  in  China  set  reading  as  a  compulsory  course  in  college  English teaching. Reading is not only one of the five basic language skills, but also an important approach  to  learn  new  vocabulary  and  difficult  grammar.  Besides,  reading  is  the  main means  for  EFL  learners  to  acquire  English  language  skills  and  knowledge.  However, most  college  students  still  can  not  read  some  relevant  English  articles  fluently, considering that reading is the most difficult part compared with the other four language skills.

Chapter 2 Literature Review  

Learning strategies especially the meta-cognitive strategies have attracted scholars’ great  interests  automatically.  Since  1970s,  more  and  more  language  teachers  and researchers  have  paid  broad  attention  to  the  learner’s  learning  strategies.  Over  the  past three decades, we have seen the focus of researches has shifted from how to teach into how to learn. After the importance of learning strategies in language learning has been identified, many scholars dedicated to the learning strategies training. This chapter gives a  review  of  previous  researches  on  meta-cognitive  reading  strategies  and  the  training abroad and at home.  

2.1 Previous Researches Abroad   
Since  1980s,  scholars  have  taken  up  researching  the  differences  in  language leaning strategies between successful learners and less successful learners, and have got a  series  of  tentative  results,  for  example,  successful  learners  tend  to  use  learning strategies better; they set their learning targets by using meta-cognitive knowledge and know how to evaluate their progress(Ellis, 1999). Ellis(1999) holds that it is actually an effective  way  to  research  the  relationships  between  learning  strategies  and  language learning. In the aspect of L2 reading strategies, the earliest researches dated back to the late of 1970s. Hosenfeld(1977b) takes the lead in comparing the differences in reading between successful L2 readers and unsuccessful L2 readers. Then, a number of scholars study  the  correlations  of  strategies  use  and  individual  differences,  t本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
