Abstract:

The English teaching in vocational colleges has laid its emphasis and difficulty on developing learners'English reading ability so that they could obtain information they need by means of English.Therefore,a survey was conducted to understand how metacognition strategies and cognition strategies have influence on English reading comprehension to non-English major students.The results show that both factors play significant roles in learners'performance,and they have differential effects on the results of the learners who are cognitively and linguistically different.This paper puts forward some suggestions on how to enhance English reading strategies in classroom teaching as follows:shift teaching focus from passing on knowledge to employing reading strategies;advocate individual-oriented teaching and make a
difference among learners with different language proficiency and different cognitive competence;pay attention to both teaching form and teaching contents to arouse learners' interests and enthusiasm,changing them from passive readers to active ones.Owing to the limited subjects and by taking PRETCO-B as the testing tool,the above results can't yet apply toall learners with different levels and further discussion and exploration of their influence are still needed.
