Abstract

This article addresses the profiles of metacognitive reading strategies used by less proficient EFL learners in one public university in the east of Indonesia. Data were collected from 54 undergraduate students using MARSI (Metacognitive Awareness Reading Strategy Inventory) questionnaire. The questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics which revealed the level of metacognitive reading strategies used by the less proficient EFL students. The analysis found that there is a high level of using Support Strategy (M=3.92, SD=1.22) and followed by Problem Solving Strategy (M=3.91, SD=1.1) and a medium level of using Global Strategy (M=3.39, SD=1.05).

Ten Indonesian tertiary-level EFL students participated in this study. It investigated the extent to which three types of assessment facilitate text revision, and analyzed students’ perception of these assessments.

First, the results showed that students made the total of 2,096 revision changes across 40 drafts, with lower percentage of self-feedback incorporated into their revision. Furthermore, the findings indicated that students had a tendency to engage in self-assessment practice more often when revising their drafts.

In contrast, self-assessment showed a balanced response between positive and negative comments. The implications of this study were provide practical insight to EFL teachers into how three assessment types (teacher-, peer-, and self-) can be developed to help improve students’ writing performance, and to inform EFL teachers with some suggestions to explore students’ perceptions regarding the three assessments to help facilitate quality-enhancing text revisions.
