Abstract

Participants performed metamemory judgements and recognition in their first (L1) and second language (L2). They were able to monitor learning in L1 and L2, despite judging L2 learning as more difficult than L1. Self-perceived difficulty did not hinder learning and people recognized L2 as well or better than L1 materials.
