| Abstract | The study aims to identify the types of metacognitive awareness as well as Multiple Intelligences with Taiwanese EFLs (English as Foreign Language) at medical junior colleges. In addition, metacognitive awareness and multiple intelligences were investigated to discover whether or not both factors affect students’ English reading performance, specifically in reading comprehension. A total of 454 junior college students from different majors and different age participated in the study. The results indicated that problem-solving reading strategies were used the most, followed by globe reading strategies, whereas support reading strategies were used the least. In terms of multiple intelligences, the most developed intelligence is musical intelligence and spatial intelligence, whereas logical intelligence and naturalist intelligence were found the least developed. Regarding of the effects of variables on English reading performance, overall reading strategy use, problem-solving reading strategies, and intrapersonal intelligence each significantly predicted students’ reading comprehension. It’s hoped that the finding could be helpful for further study as well as teaching. |
