Abstract:

Attempts to explain children's ability to focus on language as medium rather 
than message have varied dramatically over the years. Studies in the field of 
metacognition have shown that this has a bearing on children's growing 
metalinguistic awareness. Conversely, children's ability to reflect upon and 
control their own use of language has been seen to have a bearing on the 
emergence of general metacognitive processes. However, significant 
differences have emerged not only in the interpretation of the research 
findings but also in the attempt to reconcile such findings with those of 
traditional anecdotal sources and to create more explanatory theoretical 
models.

Starting with a critical review of the various theoretical approaches in the area 
of metacognition, this book explores in detail a socio-cultural approach, 
examining the origin, function and cognitive status of metalinguistic 
awareness. By elaborating and refining the analysis of writers such as 
Vygotsky in the light of new developments in relevant fields, the author also 
seeks to outline a model which can be applied to the pedagogic process. The 
book will be of interest to students and scholars of children's language 
development, applied linguistics and cognitive psychology, as well as to 
teachers of foreign languages at all levels. 

Contents: Metacognitive and metalinguistic processing - Metalinguistic 
processing and language development - Towards a model of metalinguistic 
awareness - Problems of differentiation - Metalinguistic awareness and 
language planning - Metalinguistic awareness and pedagogy - Towards an 
effective pedagogy for FLL - Towards a metatheory of SLT. 

Anthony David Roberts worked for many years as head of modern languages 
in inner London schools before taking up a lectureship at the Institute of 
Education, London, in 1987. From 1988 to 1996 he was senior lecturer and 
head of modern languages at the Institute of Education. He founded and 
edited the Languages Forum journal from 1989-1996. On retirement in 1996, 
he focused on his own writing and research, producing several works 
including the current volume.
