Abstract: evidence of remarkable metalinguistic awareness and engagement with language among these learners.Overall, the study challenges assumptions about the quality and type of linguistic awareness that low-literate adult learners bring to their English learning experience, allowing us to reframe our notions of these learners as multicompetent (Cook, 2003).It also suggests that metalinguistic awareness is best understood in a broad sociocognitive perspective, one that opens new ground for the conceptualization of the roles that cognitive, affective, and social engagement with language have on metalinguistic awareness and on second language acquisition particularly for this understudied research population.v
