Abstract :You similar skills are acquired when learning a new language; however, learning processes of the first and second languages are quite different from each other. While individuals acquire the first language from their family and close environment in a natural process, they learn a second language with their own will and effort. Planning, monitoring and evaluation, which constitute the three processes of meta-cognitive strategies, ensure that the learner is active throughout the learning process. Using metacognitive strategies in foreign language education positively affects students\\\' acquisition of language skills. In the literature, there are studies examining the effect of metacognitive strategies training on students\\\' foreign language learning; however, no study that discusses all these studies and determines the level of the effect of strategy training on students\\\' foreign language learning was found. In this study, the studies investigating the effect of metacognitive strategies training on students\\\' foreign language learning in Turkey and across the world were compiled using meta-analysis method. The results of the analysis showed that metacognition strategies training had a large effect on students\\\' foreign language learning. As a result of the subgroup analysis, no significant difference was found between the effect sizes by language skills and study group.
