“…In this regard, students should try to apply the appropriate strategies to be a successful and competent writer because a positive correlation can be found between strategy use and writing competence (Bai et al, 2014;Chien, 2012).

Learners' strategy use has been widely researched over the past few decades. However, studies which focus on the impact of cognitive and metacognitive strategies on primary learners are somewhat rare. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to provide an experimental investigation to explore the effect of cognitive and metacognitive writing strategies on Iranian elementary learners' writing. To this end, 75 elementary learners were recruited to participate in this study. The findings show that the intervention achieved a significant treatment effect on both experimental groups including cognitive and metacognitive writing strategies groups. Furthermore, it was found that the metacognitive group outperformed the cognitive one.

“…Most of the research addressing the relationship between writing proficiency and writing strategy use has shown that writing proficiency is closely related to writing strategy use (Arndt 1987;Chien, 2012;Mu, 2005;Raimes 1985;Bai et al, 2013;Sasaki, 2000Sasaki, , 2002Victori, 1999). For instance, Chien's (2012) study into writing strategies of 40 EFL university students revealed that student who had high writing proficiency used significantly more planning, revising and reviewing strategies than those with low writing proficiency.…”

This study reports on an investigation into writing strategies of Malaysian university students learning English as a second language. Qualitative data were collected from 21 undergraduate university students aged 19 to 21. The students interviewed reported using a variety of writing strategies. It was also found that all of the participants reported doing some pre-writing activities, and having awareness of their own writing problems. The findings of the study also revealed that the highly proficient student writers reported using more moremetacognitive strategies such as organizing ideas and revising content than less skilled ones. Limitations of the study are discussed, and suggestions for future research are offered. Implications for writing instruction are also presented.
