    \n
  • Investigate the effectiveness of employing metacognitive strategies in developing writing skills, specifically paragraph and essay writing, among second-year students at the Faculty of Languages, Sana\u2019a University.<\/li>\n

    The study yielded a number of key findings summarized as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Statistically significant differences were observed between the mean post\u2011test scores of the experimental and control groups, with higher performance in the experimental group attributable to the application of metacognitive strategies.<\/li>\n
    • Students at the Faculty of Languages expressed positive attitudes toward the use of metacognitive strategies in writing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
