It is widely recognised that successful reading involves the interaction of a number of different cognitive skills and strategies in order to achieve compre-hension of the text (Baker, 2002). These skills and strategies are generally considered to be controlled by a global process called ‘metacognition’ (Kuhn & Dean, 2004). In this paper, I suggest that a large part of metacognition when reading has a (meta)linguistic component and hence time should be devoted to raising (meta)linguistic awareness when teaching and honing reading skills and strategies. Tasks based around a short extract from Roald Dahl’s (1982[2013]) novel The BFG are presented and discussed in order to illustrate how metalinguistic awareness might be raised in a classroom. Such tasks not only help to improve reading comprehension but have a number of additional benefits: they enhance and support the metacognitive toolkit, improve vocabulary acquisition and growth, and can bring a love of language and the fun of language play into the classroom.Keywords: metalinguistic awareness, reading comprehension, vocabulary, classroom activities, Roald DahlA fremme metalingvistisk bevissthet i et klasserom for a forbedre leseforstaelse: eksempler fra Roald Dahls roman The BFGSammendragDet er bred enighet om at vellykket lesing trekker veksler pa flere forskjellige kognitive ferdigheter og strategier tilknyttet tekstforstaelse (Baker, 2002). Disse ferdighetene og strategiene horer inn under den globale prosessen ‘metakog-nisjon’ (Kuhn & Dean, 2004). I denne artikkelen argumenterer jeg for at en stor del av metakognisjonen i lesing har en (meta)lingvistisk komponent, og folgelig at tid bor vies til a utvikle (meta)lingvistisk bevissthet i undervisningen av leseferdigheter og strategier. Arbeidsoppaver basert pa et kort utdrag fra Roald Dahls (1982[2013]) The BFG (The Big Friendly Giant / SVK – Store Vennlige Kjempe) presenteres og diskuteres for a illustrere hvordan metalingvistisk bevissthet kan utvikles i klasserommet. Slike arbeidsoppgaver hjelper ikke bare med a forbedre leseforstaelsen, men har ogsa flere andre fordeler: de forsterker og stotter den metakognitive verktoykassen, forbedrer bade innlaering og utvidelse av ordforradet, kan oke sprakgleden og oppmuntre til lek med sprak i klasserommet.Nokkelord: metalingvistisk bevissthet, leseforstaelse, vokabular, klasseroms-aktiviteter, Roald Dahl
