As a concept originally coined in the field of psychology, metacognition has been extensively discussed in second language acquistion field, because increasingly more researchers point to the significant role learners＇ metacognition plays in their language learning. However, as a psychological concept, many teachers feel metacognition is a rather elusive concept for them to concretize in everyday pedagogy. To shed light on classroom teaching, this paper deciphers this concept to our language teachers. It mainly focuses on the constructs of metacognition, the development of this concept in language learning area, and the practice of implementing metacognitive instruction in language classrooms.展开更多
