Meanwhile, the metacognitive awareness data were collected utilizing Junior Metacognitive Inventory. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistic. Mann-Whitney U Test was employed to investigate the significance differences of metacognitive awareness between male and female. The findings showed that 46.25% of Chinese Language Learners have a good metacognitive knowledge, 28.75% fair, 20% very good, 3.75% poor, and 1.25% very lacking. The finding also showed that 40% students have good metacognitive regulation, 36.25% fair, 15% very good, 7.50% poor, and 1.25% very lacking. In addition, between male and female students have no significant difference in knowledge of cognition.

Abstract Studies have shown foreign language anxiety (FLA) can negatively impact learners’ performance in the classroom, but learners experience less FLA during computer-mediated communication (CMC) activities. Although it has been documented that communicating with native speakers (NSs) can make foreign language learners more anxious, very few empirical studies have compared learners’ anxiety levels toward different online chat partners. The current study investigated intermediate Chinese language learners’ FLA in online text CMC activities chatting with NSs and non-native speakers (NNSs). The quantitative data analyses showed that there was a significant difference in the anxiety level between chatting with NSs and NNSs in text-based CMC: chatting with NSs made Chinese learners more anxious than chatting with NNSs. Language confidence and partner familiarity were the two main factors mediating the anxiety. Practical pedagogical implications and future research directions were discussed.

Metacognitive strategy awareness is important to solve many problems especially in the teaching and learning process as well as in one’s career. This survey aims to identify the level of metacognitive awareness strategies among polytechnic students according to demographics, and also the difference between the level of metacognitive awareness strategies based on gender and the field of study of students. The sample of the study consists of 361 students who attended Diploma in Civil Engineering (132 students), Diploma in Electrical Engineering (121 students) and Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (108 students). The design of this study is survey using the quantitative approach. The research instrument used is the Metacognitive Strategies Awareness Inventory (MAI) with two main constructs, knowledge of cognitive and regulation of cognitive. These are used to determine the level of metacognitive awareness strategies. All data was analyzed using SPSS software and presented in the form of mean score, frequency and percentage. The results show that all male and female students have high level in metacognitive strategies awareness. The T-Test analysis shows that there is a significant difference in the level of awareness of metacognitive strategies between male and female students ( ρ = .021< .05). Furthermore, the ANOVA test analysis also shows that there is a significant difference in the level of awareness of metacognitive strategies based on the field of study of the students ( ρ = .016< .05). Therefore, it can be concluded that the awareness of metacognitive strategies should be applied to students to produce effective teaching and improve students’ learning achievement.
