This study aims to investigate how using a modified output (MO) as an input can affect the second language acquisition process. It looks into the role of the modified output in enhancing the metacognitive awareness of students and facilitating the language acquisition process. The study examines whether this role of MO can improve or worsen the linguistic competence of students. This investigation goes in the light of the Comprehensible Output theory developed by Merrill Swain in 1980s. The participants of the study are 8 EFL college students at the intermediate level. A series of assignments are used to analyze the progress or withdrawal in students' linguistic performance in writing. Results of the study indicate that improving students' cognitive awareness of their output abilities does have a good impact on developing the process of second language acquisition. Hence, this thesis focuses on how the process of the students modifying their own outputs can contribute in the language acquisition process.
