Abstract

We report the results of a bibliometric study of 696 empirical articles (EAs) published in TESOL Quarterly (TQ) over its lifespan (1967-2019). We report overall and periodic reviews (1967-1979, 1980-1989, 1990-1999, 2000-2009, 2010-2019) concerning the following themes: (1) contexts and participants, (2) research foci and theoretical orientations, and (3) research methodology and data sources. A typical article was written by a single author addressing a learning/teaching English issue related to undergraduates in US universities. The most common research foci were instruction, learning, and assessment. A quarter of the articles did not have a specifiable theoretical orientation, and for those that had, the main theoretical orientations were linguistic/scientific, linguistic/cognitive, and social. The most frequently used research methodologies were quantitative, qualitative, and eclectic, and the top three data sources used by researchers were elicitation, multiple sources, and observation. Based on the findings, we make suggestions for future research in TESOL. Overall, the present review and analysis of published EAs give readers a birds-eye view of the research gravity in TQ over the last 52 years.

回顾和分析《TESOL 季刊》创刊以来发表的实证文章
我们报告了对《TESOL 季刊》(TQ)出版以来(1967-2019 年)发表的 696 篇实证文章(EAs)进行文献计量学研究的结果。我们报告了有关以下主题的总体回顾和定期回顾(1967-1979 年、1980-1989 年、1990-1999 年、2000-2009 年、2010-2019 年):(1) 背景和参与者,(2) 研究重点和理论取向,(3) 研究方法和数据来源。典型的文章由一位作者撰写,涉及与美国大学本科生有关的英语学习/教学问题。最常见的研究重点是教学、学习和评估。四分之一的文章没有明确的理论取向,在有理论取向的文章中,主要的理论取向是语言学/科学、语言学/认知和社会。最常用的研究方法是定量、定性和折中,研究人员使用的前三种数据来源是诱导、多种来源和观察。根据研究结果,我们对未来的 TESOL 研究提出了建议。总之,本报告对已发表的电子教学法进行了回顾和分析,使读者对过去 52 年来教师素质领域的研究重力有了一个鸟瞰式的了解。

期刊介绍: Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching (ISSN 2083-5205) is a refereed journal published four times a year by the Department of English Studies, Faculty of Pedagogy and Fine Arts, Adam Mickiewicz University, Kalisz, Poland. The language of publication is English. The journal is devoted to reporting previously unpublished highest quality theoretical and empirical research on learning and teaching second and foreign languages. It deals with the learning and teaching of any language, not only English, and focuses on a variety of topics ranging from the processes underlying second language acquisition, various aspects of language learning in instructed and non-instructed settings, as well as different facets of the teaching process, including syllabus choice, materials design, classroom practices and evaluation. Each issue carries about 6 papers, 6000-8000 words in length, as well as reply articles and reviews. At least one of the four issues per year is a special focus issue devoted to a particular area of second language learning and teaching, sometimes with a guest editor who is an expert on a specific topic.
