我国外语教师研究文献评析——基于CSSCI外语类主要期刊可视化分析(2007-2018)

Analysis of Foreign Language Teachers’ Research in China

本文使用CiteSpace 5.3.R11计量软件,以2007-2018年发表在CSSCI外语类期刊的外语教师研究文献为研究对象,就近12年来我国外语教师研究文献进行了分析。结果显示:第一,该研究领域年度发文数量变化不大,发展空间巨大;第二,量化研究占多数,应更多开展质性研究;第三,研究对象以高校外语教师为主,研究内容以专业发展和综述性居多,对中小学外语教师和外语教师发展的微观领域,如教师课堂决策、教师语言意识以及教师认知等研究偏少。

By using CiteSpace 5.3.R11, this research made a quantitative analysis of Chinese foreign language teachers’ research work published in CSSCI foreign language journals from 2007 to 2018. There are 3 major findings.(1) There is no clear variation in the number of articles published every year, which indicates that there is still a lot to be explored in this field.(2) Most studies focus on quantitative research.(3) Most researches are about university foreign language teachers’ professional development and literature review. More researches are needed on classroom decision making,teachers’ language awareness and cognition abilities, etc. Foreign language teachers in kindergartens, primary and middle schools should also get more attention.
