Abstract
<p>This study investigated the relationship between cognitive and metacognitive strategy use and EFL reading test performance among EFL university learners in Thailand. One hundred ninety-nine non-English major students voluntarily participated in this cross-sectional research design. The five-point Likert Scale questionnaire was employed to collect learners’ test-taking strategies after they had completed the EFL reading test. The semi-structured interview was then used to gather qualitative information from ten volunteers to better understand the strategy use during an EFL reading test. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to analyze the data. The results showed significant relationships between the applications of cognitive strategies and metacognitive strategy executions. However, the analysis of the results indicated no significant correlations between cognitive and metacognitive strategy use and reading test performance. Concerning qualitative data analyses, the results showed that learners’ strategy use varied depending on test items. These findings could yield fruitful information for pedagogical practices, implications, and strategy training roles among university students. Detailed discussions in relation to pedagogy and further research are addressed.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0568/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
