Abstract
Metacognition is essential to second language (L2) learning, while eye-tracking is an effective method for researching metacognition in reading. The data can be used for research as well as feedback to support learners' self-directed learning. This study constructed an eye-movement information feedback strategy based on the self-regulated learning (SRL) theory and apply it to college students' real L2 learning environment. It contains three functional modules and six main steps. The feedback information mainly includes four dimensions of metacognitive planning, monitoring, regulation, and evaluation. The practice results showed that lower reading level learners' reading comprehension and metacognition monitoring benefited from eye-movement information feedback. All learners' intra-word multiple processing modes and fixation position were impacted. In summary, the feedback is a useful L2 learning approach, which can assist to enhance personalized language learning and reading comprehension. With the availability and acceptance of eye movement technology, it will provide more detailed and organized information feedback for beginners in second language learning.
