Abstract

In order to study the relationship between English reading strategies and metacognitive awareness, this paper proposes a sound thinking method and uses the quantitative and qualitative analysis to carry on the thorough discussion. Through the analysis, it is found that there is a correlation between English reading strategies and reading proficiency. Compared with lower reading level students, the students with higher reading level are more inclined to use the global strategy to solve the reading problem, but there is no obvious difference between the two kinds of students for the number of using strategies. The students with higher reading level have different quality of reading strategies than the students with lower reading level, and the students with higher reading skills are more inclined to use the metacognitive awareness, which is more flexible and can get better results. Through the analysis of the differences in reading strategies, this paper provides a valuable reference for the teaching of EFL reading.
