Use of Metacognitive Strategies in English Learning under Blended Teaching Model
Learning strategies help learners acquire and retain knowledge in a structured and methodological way,and encour-age students to seek,establish,and ultimately achieve self-directed learning goals.Metacognitive strategies play an important role in learning strategies and are the key to improving students'autonomous learning ability.345 college English learners were surveyed in the form of a questionnaire on the use of metacognitive strategies in blended teaching mode.The findings are as follows:(1)non-English majors have a medium level of metacognitive strategies in blended teaching mode,among which advanced English learners have the highest awareness of metacognitive strategies.(2)under the blended teaching mode,learners with different English profi-ciency have significant differences in the use of metacognitive strategies of various dimensions.Learners with higher proficiency in the use of planning strategies,monitoring strategies and evaluation strategies are significantly higher than those with intermediate and low proficiency.(3)the high-level English learners have the highest level of use of planning strategies,while the low-level learners have the lowest level of use of planning strategies.In the planning strategy dimension,the low-level English learners demonstrate the high-est level of attention use and the lowest level of pre-planning use.(4)learners with different English levels have different degrees of differences in the specific use of various dimensional strategies.Under the blended teaching mode,although the students have a good hope to improve their academic performance,they are limited by their low ability to use learning strategies and have no way to improve their academic performance.Therefore,teachers can make students understand and use metacognitive strategies to improve their Eng-lish learning efficiency by creating scenarios.
