Abstract

This article explores the concept of metalinguistic awareness by tracing back its origins, development, and contemporary significance. It first outlines how the notion evolved from early linguistic and cognitive studies to encompass bilingual and literary research. The discussion then highlights how metalinguistic awareness has expanded beyond structural analysis to include pragmatic, intercultural, and digital dimensions of communication. By examining recent insights from studies on bilingual reading and technology-mediated feedback, the article argues that metalinguistic awareness in the 21^st century function as a vital cognitive and social resource, enabling critical thinking, adaptability, and informed participation in modern discourse.
