The education process has a complex nature that can be approached from a dual theoretical-practical perspective. For this reason, a teacher needs to configure her or his praxis and create their own theoretical constructs. This review article presents the results of an investigation on the new concepts that exist around pedagogical practice, metacognition and reading understanding in a foreign language. In order to respond to the research problem, we have made use of a systematic analysis of studies conducted in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, publicized in the databases Google Scholar, Scielo, Redalyc, Eric, Dialnet, and Scopus, between 1988 and 2018. These studies involve reflections on the previously mentioned categories and, through them, an analysis and an overview were conducted to define an emerging category call metacognitive pedagogical practice. The bibliographic review with a qualitative approach presented in this paper was done taking into account primary and secondary sources (in Spanish, Portuguese, and English) by utilizing the following descriptors: practice, pedagogical practice, metacognition, reading comprehension and reading comprehension in a foreign language. The results of the systematic analysis allow to conclude that it is necessary to develop a metacognitive pedagogical practice, where such practice is understood as a scenario which facilitates to re-link the several factors taking part in the teaching-learning process, such as: reflection, cooperative work, open dialogue, and the teacher´s research within her/his own practice.
