Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Metacognitive reading strategy instruction (MRSI) has been valued in reading instruction in both L1 and L2 contexts and has been considered helpful for developing learners' reading awareness. This study explored the effect of metacognitive reading strategy instruction (MRSI) on Taiwanese EFL high school students' English reading comprehension, reading strategy awareness, and reading motivation. By using a sequenced mixed-method research methodology, five research questions were addressed in this study: (1) Does metacognitive reading strategy instruction affect high school EFL students' reading comprehension? (2) Does metacognitive reading strategy instruction affect high school EFL students' reading strategy awareness and reading motivation? (3) Does the effectiveness of metacognitive reading strategy instruction (MRSI) depend on general English reading proficiency levels? (4) What are the factors involved EFL high school students' English reading experience? (5) What features of metacognitive reading strategy instruction (MRSI) change EFL high school students' reading perceptions towards English reading? The study involved a 10-week intervention with 110 public high school EFL adolescents in southern Taiwan. During the course of the study, participants were randomly selected and randomly assigned to the experimental and control group.
