The development of metalinguistic skills plays a crucial role in foreign language learning, enabling students to analyze, reflect on, and manipulate language structures beyond basic communication. This paper explores various methods for fostering metalinguistic awareness, emphasizing pragmatic, sociolinguistic, phonological, syntactic, morphological, and semantic knowledge. The study highlights the significance of metalinguistic transfer, where learners apply their understanding of linguistic concepts from their native language to a foreign language. Additionally, the role of audiovisual materials, practical assignments, and interactive classroom strategies in enhancing students' linguistic awareness is examined. The findings suggest that integrating explicit language reflection, comparative analysis, and communicative tasks into language instruction contributes to more effective foreign language acquisition.
