基于CiteSpace的国外期刊计算机辅助二语习得研究热点与趋势分析

Analysis of Research Hotspots and Trends in Computer-Assisted Second Language Acquisition in International Journals Based on CiteSpace

本文对1994~2023年国外期刊发表的计算机辅助二语习得研究论文进行梳理,分析研究现状、热点和发展趋势,以期为国内外相关研究提供借鉴和参考。以Web of Science核心合集为文献来源,运用CiteSpace分析软件对近30年国外期刊计算机辅助二语习得研究文献的发文时间、高频关键词、研究机构、期刊分布、作者合作等方面进行可视化分析。结果发现:1994~2023年计算机辅助二语习得研究呈现波动上升趋势,研究主力军主要集中于University of California System和Michigan State University等国内外高校;发文期刊主要是该领域的核心期刊,如Language Learning Technology、Computer Assisted Language Learning以及ReCALL等;近年研究热点主要分为从学生角度出发语言本体能力相关研究以及从教师角度出发的教学法研究。国内外计算机辅助二语习得研究在未来可以结合最新科技,加强研究者之间的合作,进一步深化该领域研究深度,拓宽研究范围。 This paper reviews research papers on computer-assisted second language acquisition (CASLA) published in international journals from 1994 to 2023, analyzing the current research status, hotspots, and development trends, aiming to provide reference and guidance for relevant research both domestically and internationally. Using the Web of Science Core Collection as the source of literature, CiteSpace software was employed to conduct a visual analysis of CASLA research in international journals over the past 30 years, focusing on publication time, high-frequency keywords, research institutions, journal distribution, and author collaboration. The results reveal that CASLA research from 1994 to 2023 has shown a fluctuating upward trend, with key contributors primarily concentrated in universities such as the University of California System and Michigan State University. The primary journals in which these papers were published include core journals in the field, such as Language Learning & Technology, Computer Assisted Language Learning, and ReCALL. Recent research hotspots mainly fall into two categories: language competence studies from the perspective of students and pedagogical studies from the perspective of teachers. Future research in CASLA, both domestically and internationally, could benefit from integrating cutting-edge technologies, enhancing collaboration among researchers, deepening the scope of research, and expanding the range of topics studied.
