چکیده

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the impacts of metacognitive strategies on brain dominance of Iranian intermediate EFL learners’ reading comprehension. Research participants were 50 intermediate EFL learners. They were homogenized by validated OPD. They were divided into 2 groups, that is, experimental and control. The chosen methodology for this experiment is in keeping with Zhussupova & Kazbekova’s recommendations “GUIDE on using Metacognitive Reading Strategies” (2016).The researcher used that to teach the experimental group. It focused on the mоdеl оf mеtаcоgnіtіvе strаtеgіеs including the following strategies: 1. promoting self-questioning, 2. thinking aloud while performing a task, 3. making graphic representations in reading comprehension. And used traditional method in reading, that is, pre-reading, while-reading, post-reading to teach the control group. Before doing the experiment, the researcher gave the questionnaire of brain dominance to all the participants in two groups to determine the right/left-oriented students. The researcher conducted 10 sessions. The reading texts were selected randomly from select reading (intermediate) by Lee & Gundersen (2011). Having been done the experiment, the researcher distributed the questionnaire of brain dominance to the participants again to know to some extent metacognitive strategies were significant on the brain dominance. Based on the data analysis from the questionnaire before and after the experiment, it was proved that there was significant effect of metacognitive strategies on brain dominace. Consequently, the null hypotheses of the study were rejected. Teachers should incorporate this task in their activities. It would also provide a communicative and supporting atmosphere in the class between teacher and student and among student themselves.Considering methodological perspectives, the results of the study can be of use in all educational centers, and have direct and indirect implications in teaching, learning, and syllabus design and materials development.
