Abstract
In this study, we explored the use of reading metacognitive strategies of 133 college students, comparing the self-reported use of L1 and L2 English students. Results indicate that while both groups report using strategies often when reading academic texts and having similar preferences in types of reading strategy, L2 readers use strategies more frequently than their native-speaking peers, particularly for support strategies.
