In foreign language contexts, the role of metacognition is more vital.</span></span></span></span><span style="background-color:#ffffff;"> This study sought to investigate the relationship between metacognitive reading strategy awareness and use, and reading comprehension of Iranian English as a foreign language (EFL) learners. In so doing, a non-experimental, correlational design was used. The participants included 238 male and female EFL university students in two central provinces of Iran. The sampling method was convenience sampling. To collect the data, Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory (MARSI) and the reading comprehension section of Cambridge Michigan Language Assessment (MET) were utilized. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results of SEM analysis revealed that there are not significant causal relationships between global (GLOB) reading strategy and reading comprehension, and between supportive (SUP) reading strategy and reading comprehension. However, there was a significant causal relationship between problem-solving (PROB) reading strategy and reading comprehension. According to the results, the covariances among all four latent factors were invariant across gender. Moreover, there was no relationship between gender and reading strategy awareness and use. Pedagogic implications stemming from the findings have resonance for teaching reading comprehension.</span></span></span></span></div> Metacognitive reading strategies, Global strategies, Problem-solving strategies, Support strategies, Reading comprehension 516 535 http://ieepj.hormozgan.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-487-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Guiti Mortazavizadeh گیتی مرتضوی زاده mortazavizadeh@iauyazd.ac.ir 10031947532846006105 10031947532846006105 No PhD Student, Department of English, Maybod Branch, Islamic Azad University, Maybod, Iran دانشجوی دکتری، گروه زبان انگلیسی، واحد میبد،دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی، میبد، ایران Mohammad Golshan محمد گلشن mohammadgolshann@gmail.com 10031947532846006106 10031947532846006106 Yes Assistant Professor, Department of English, Maybod Branch, Islamic Azad University, Maybod, Iran استادیار، گروه زبان انگلیسی، واحد میبد، دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی ،میبد،ایران Mohammad Javad Rezai محمدجواد رضایی mrezai@yazd.ac.ir 10031947532846006107 10031947532846006107 No Associate Professor, Department of English, Yazd University, Yazd, Iran دانشیار، ، گروه زبان انگلیسی، دانشگاه یزد، یزد، ایران
