There are several qualities of an outstanding writer . One quality is the metacognitive skill of the writer . Metacognition is defined as the process of reflection, which encourages deeper learning. If a writer is regularly able to self-reflect on his performance as well as the performance of others, he will learn more and improve his writing skills . For writers, it can help monitor and also change the lessons in the future and for readers , it can also improve their performance in future writings. Dividing metacognition strategies into before a task, during a task and after a task stages can be helpful .Here are simple questions that can develop metacognitive strategies in each of these three stages:
(i) Before a Task - Is this similar to a previous task? What do I want to achieve? What should I do first?
(ii) During The Task - Am I on the right track? What can I do differently? Who can I ask for help?
(iii) After a Task - What went well? What could I have done better?
