A Correlation between Metacognitive Strategies and English Writing of Freshmen English Majors
摘要：本文旨在研讨大学英语系一年级学生元认知策略在写作方面的总体使用情况以及元认知策略和英语写作的相关性。作者通过元认知问卷调查，英语论文题目，对天津外国语学院64个样本进行略论。其结果表明：(1)英语系一年级学生在英语写作中使用元认知策略的总体水平不高；(2)英语系一年级学生英语写作中元认知策略的使用与其英语写作成绩呈正相关，但相关性不显著。通过本探讨可以看到，元认知策略使用对英语系一年级学生英语写作有一定作用，然而他们元认知意识相对比较薄弱。因此本文还对如何培养学生的元认知意识，帮助学生在英语写作中使用元认知策略提出了建议，英语论文，促使其提高写作水平。
