This article explores the effectiveness of developing metacognitive strategies in English language learners through digital interactive activities. Metacognition, which involves self-regulation and awareness of one's learning processes, plays a crucial role in language acquisition. With the increasing integration of technology in education, digital tools offer dynamic ways to enhance metacognitive skills such as planning, monitoring, and evaluating learning. This paper examines how interactive digital activities (e.g., gamified quizzes, AI-based feedback systems, collaborative online tasks) can foster metacognitive awareness and improve English language proficiency. The research combines theoretical insights with practical classroom applications, suggesting that well-designed digital interactions can significantly support learners in becoming more autonomous and reflective.
