用阅读时的眼动数据评估英语水平，更准且更可靠。

Standard language proficiency tests rely on linguistic tasks such as vocabulary, grammar and reading comprehension quizzes. An alternative, cognitively motivated approach, introduced in Berzak et al. (2018), proposed instead to predict language proficiency from behavioral traces of eye movements in reading. In this work, we validate and extend this approach from single sentences to more naturalistic reading of contextualized passages in English as a second language, new proficiency measures, prediction models, and reading in an information seeking regime. We find that the approach is effective in all these evaluations. We further address two key open questions on eye movement based proficiency testing: (1) potential scoring biases that reflect the proximity of the reader's native language to English, which may undermine validity, and (2) its reliability. We find that eye movement based proficiency scores are indeed biased towards L1s that are linguistically closer to English. We propose a score debiasing method which effectively remedies this issue. The reliability analyses suggest that eye movement proficiency scores are more reliable than standard language proficiency scores. Overall, our results strengthen and broaden the empirical foundations for future eye movement based language assessment technologies.
