国内移动辅助英语学习研究热点及演进分析

Research Hotspots and Evolution of Mobile-Assisted English Language Learning in China

随着移动网络的普及和智能终端性能的提升,移动辅助英语学习越来越受到关注。以中国知网2007-2019年发表的1312篇移动辅助英语学习研究文献为数据源,使用COOC软件计算文献计量指标,借助VOSviewer软件绘制移动辅助英语学习研究知识图谱,研究国内移动辅助英语学习研究的概况、研究热点及其演化规律。研究发现:移动辅助英语学习研究发文量呈现快速增长趋势,但研究相对分散,作者和机构之间合作关系不明显;研究热点主要集中于移动辅助英语混合式教学应用、基于APP的移动辅助英语学习、移动辅助具体语言技能研究和移动辅助大学英语研究;研究热点从技术、理论和内容层面呈现出一定的演化规律。这些发现从宏观上为国内该领域研究提供概览,有助于研究者发现移动辅助英语学习的发展历程和研究热点,同时为国内移动辅助英语教学提供新的视角。

With the popularization of mobile network and the improvement of intelligent terminal performance,Mobile-Assisted English Language Learning(MAELL)has attracted more and more attention.In this paper,1312 documents related to MAELL published on CNKI from 2007 to 2019 are taken as data source,COOC software is used to calculate bibliometric indicators,and VOSviewer software is used for keyword visualization,so as to find out the research status,research hotspots and evolution of MAELL.It is found in the study that the research papers on MAELL show a rapid growth,but the research was relatively scattered,and the collaboration between authors and institutions is not obvious.Research hotspots mainly focus on the blended teaching application on MAELL,APP-based mobile-assisted English learning,mobile-assisted specific language skills and mobile-assisted college English,and the evolution of hotspots is analyzed from the aspects of technology,theory and content.These findings provide a general overview of domestic research in this field,which help researchers discover the development process and research hotspots of MAELL,and provide a new perspective for China's mobile-assisted English teaching.
