Abstract

This literature review investigates the use of metacognitive strategies—planning, monitoring, and evaluating—to support reading comprehension among B1-level learners of German as a Foreign Language (GFL). In the Indonesian educational context, limited exposure to authentic German texts and linguistic differences often hinder learners’ ability to understand complex written materials. Metacognitive strategies offer a structured approach to help learners manage their reading processes, build autonomy, and engage more deeply with texts. The review highlights how these strategies can be integrated into reading instruction through pre-reading (goal setting and text prediction), while-reading (clarifying and self-questioning), and post-reading (reflection and summarization) activities. However, the implementation of metacognitive instruction faces challenges, including low student awareness, limited teacher preparation, and a strong focus on exam-based outcomes in classrooms. To overcome these barriers, the paper advocates for sustained, explicit instruction and teacher training that embeds strategic reading into regular classroom practice. It also calls for curriculum and assessment reforms that value process-oriented reading. Ultimately, fostering metacognitive awareness equips learners not only to improve comprehension but also to become more self-regulated, reflective, and confident language users in the long term.

Abstract

This study describes the development of creativity among German Language Education students at Universitas Negeri Malang in the Society 5.0 era through their participation in extracurricular activities planned and documented using Extracurricular Plan Cards (KRE) within the Student Extracurricular Credit System (SKEMA). This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach. Data were collected from 227 students through an online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms and analyzed using descriptive statistics, with results presented in percentages. The findings indicate that students’ creativity development, as reflected in the verified Extracurricular Result Cards (KHE), is predominantly channeled through scientific activities and forums aligned with their discipline, as well as roles as committee members and administrators in student organizations. Students actively engage in collaborative activities and knowledge-building experiences that strongly support their creativity development. High involvement in scientific and organizational activities demonstrates that students are capable of transforming original ideas into tangible and meaningful contributions. These results underscore the importance of self-regulation and active engagement beyond routine documentation to optimally realize creative potential. Students expect the Extracurricular Result Cards system to provide stronger support for competitive pathways in order to stimulate higher-order creative thinking. This study provides practical recommendations for university policymakers, program coordinators, and lecturers to refine the implementation of Extracurricular Plan Cards, thereby better aligning non-formal learning with the creativity demands of the Society 5.0 era.
