Abstract
The integration of technology into language learning has demonstrated great success and drawn much attention from academia in recent years. Using publications retrieved from Web of Science, this study reveals the research status and development trend of the field from a bibliometric and systematic perspective. The analysis is conducted from publication statistical characteristics, geographical distribution, and collaboration relations. Analysis techniques include a bibliometric method, a geographic visualization method, and a social network analysis method. This analysis of the technology enhanced language learning field presents a global view on the research evolution over time, current research interests, and potential opportunities and challenges.
