Title: Think before Ink: Practical Strategies for Metacognitive Reading and Writing

Abstract
This talk is a hands-on workshop designed for language teachers who want to help students move beyond simply completing reading and writing tasks to becoming reflective, strategic learners. Through interactive activities, teachers will experience practical tools such as think-alouds, self-monitoring checklists, and graphic organizers that make students’ thinking processes visible. The session emphasizes low-prep, high-impact strategies that can be easily integrated into everyday lessons, enabling teachers to foster greater learner autonomy, deeper comprehension, and more purposeful writing in their classrooms.
