近20年国内外语教育技术研究评述与未来展望——基于CiteSpace的可视化分析

A Research of e-Educology of Foreign Languages in the Past Two Decades——A Visual Analysis Based on Cite Space

该文利用文献计量方法对中文社会科学引文索引数据库收录的外语教育技术相关文献进行基于CiteSpace的可视化分析,揭示了国内外语教育技术的核心领域及其特征、外语教育技术研究者合作网络、外语教育技术的关键文献及前沿文献。研究得出以下结论:大学英语是国内外语教育技术研究的主要阵地;外语教育技术研究的外延很广,但深度有待挖掘;外语教育技术研究正发生从模式建构到实证研究的转变;合作研究有待加强。该文回顾了过去20年信息技术支撑外语教学研究的特点并就未来的研究重点提出了建议。

This study reviews literature on ICT in foreign language education by means of bibliometrical method. Software Cite Space is used to visualize key research areas and problems, cooperation network of authorship and key emerging literature of e-Educology of foreign languages. It is concluded that college English is the major playground of E-educology of foreign languages and that research on ICT in foreign language education has a broad range but lacks depth. The study also finds that there is an empirical turn as far as research method is concerned. Besides, more attention should be paid to cooperative study.
