Metacognitive awareness plays a fundamental role in enabling learners to employ appropriate strategies in problem solving, and to monitor their learning process in different conditions. The current study aims at finding the metacognitive awareness level of undergraduate students in ESP. To this end, ۳۳ undergraduate students in ESP took part in the current study. They were asked to respond to the given statements provided in the inventory. The data were gathered and analyzed. The results indicated that the participants' metacognitive awareness is high. Moreover, the participants obtained high mean scores on the two components of metacognitive awareness. The findings can be useful to learners to become aware of the level of metacognitive awareness and to use them properly in different conditions. The findings can also be conducive to instructors and material developers to deliver materials in such a way that best increase learners' metacognitive awareness and involvement in learning process.
