Abstract
Metacognitive strategy is a high-level learning skill which comprises planning strategy, monitoring strategy, and evaluating strategy. A large number of researches on metacognitive strategy have shown that it is an effective way to improve the ability of English reading. This thesis, based on the researches and theories about metacognition, concretely explores the application of metacognitive strategies in English reading. As the results have demonstrated, for limited time and lack of practice, the traditional way of teaching English reading in Chinese schools is often ineffective. However, an effective application of metacognition in English reading can help the students learn more actively by setting up clearer goals and plans, and gradually developing their abilities of self-monitoring and self-evaluating. What’s more, it can also help them improve their abilities in autonomous learning.
Key words: metacognition, reading comprehension, metacognitive strategies, application

1. Introduction
With the increasing development of economy and cultural exchange, English proficiency has become an important requirement for the students. And among the four basic language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, reading is by far the most significant skill which plays a vital role in English learning. English reading is paramount, not just because English is learned primarily by means of gaining information through the written language, but also because reading provides the most efficient and hence the most important channel of linguistic input through which students can improve their linguistic competence.
