| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to investigate the metacognitive reading strategies employed by fifty four undergraduates in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). A questionnaire adapted from Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory (MARSI) was used and data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 for descriptive statistics.
