The current study was conducted to investigate the possible relationship between Iranian EAP learners’ metacognitive strategies and reading comprehension. 33 students at Kashan University majoring in Mining participated in the study. To measure their metacognitive strategies, the Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory (MARSI) (Mokhtary & Reichard, 2002) was used. Moreover, a sample reading test extracted from English for the Students of Mining (Exploration) (Moshiri & Roshan Zamir, 2009) to measure students’ reading comprehension was used. Correlational analysis between MARSI results and test performance revealed a significant relationship between the metacognitive strategies used and reading comprehension. This indicates that students who are aware of metacognitive strategies have better language proficiency.
