The number of participants in this study is seventy, with thirty-five each constituting the experimental and control groups. All participants are enrolled at the English department, Hail University. This is a purposefully chosen sample i.e. the sample was chosen with the specific research objective in mind (Creswell, 2014). Purposeful sampling may be implemented in a variety of ways. In this study, criterion-based sampling was applied to ensure the quality of the results. Accordingly, the first-level students at the English Department were chosen as subjects for this study. Students at this level are assumed to be unfamiliar with metacognitive techniques. Using criterion-based sampling was deemed the most suitable to conduct this inquiry. <br>The assessments were designed to test students' reading comprehension and ensure that the two groups were taught at the same level of understanding. Moreover, Beyer's (1987) metacognitive strategy questionnaire was employed in this study to assess metacognitive methods by employing the four-point Likert Scale (Never, Rarely, Often, and Always numerically converted to 1, 2, 3, 4 to quantify the results) for responses. The questionnaire is designed to obtain data on how students plan, monitor, and analyze their own progress while they learn a new language. As part of the pilot study, the questionnaire was administered to twelve students who shared demographics with the sample but were not included in the final survey. The reliability of the questionnaire used to assess metacognitive strategy was determined to be 0.85%. The questionnaire responses were interpreted using the \ proposed guide to determine their awareness of metacognitive <br>
