本文旨在梳理中国近30年(1990~2020)外语教材评估的发展历程和研究趋势。研究采用文献计量法和内容分析法,考察了国内核心期刊论文、高质量学术专著和博士学位论文的教材评估研究。结果发现,国内外语教材评估经历三个阶段:(1)评介国外教材评估理论;(2)应用国外框架评估教材;(3)创新本土教材评估理论。发展阶段呈现出从静态到动态、从国外到本土、从主观到客观的趋势,这反映出我国外语教材评估研究日趋成熟。本研究还提出新时代外语教材评估研究的研究方向:(1)加强外语教材课程思政元素的评估;(2)关注大、中、小学外语教材一体化评估;(3)重视立体化教学资源评估。本研究对新时代外语教材评估、编写、使用与改编具有借鉴意义。
