Abstract
This paper will present the role of metacognition and its implication in teaching EFL reading comprehension.

The role of metacognition, both knowledge and strategies, will be described in teaching and learning of reading and its effects on the successful teaching and learning of reading. Students’ metacognition will shape their beliefs and attitudes toward their reading process which in turn influence their behaviors and success in reading comprehension.
