Abstract	:	This study is a quasi-experimental research. It aims to examine the effects of metacognitive strategies on students’ reading abilities. It used teaching and application of metacognitive strategies as a pedagogical intervention among a group of 30 sophomore students at a public university in Afghanistan. However, it uses the normal teaching approach for the control group of 30 sophomore students. Both sets of participants took a pre-test before the study began and a post-test after the intervention and normal teaching. This study investigates whether a metacognitive intervention increases sophomores’ skill in reading in English and impacts their use of metacognition. It also explores how students apply metacognitive skills in reading and how they use the dominant metacognition strategies in reading. Specifically, the study tested the hypothesis “metacognition pedagogy as an intervention increases the sophomores’ use of metacognition.” These results indicate that there is a significant difference between treatment group by receiving pedagogical intervention of metacognition strategies in comparison to the control group. Likewise, we accept the second hypothesis “metacognition pedagogy as an intervention increases the sophomores’ reading abilities in English” since the treatment group significantly improved compared to the control group.
