基于MOOC的外语教学热点与趋势研究_英语论文

The Analysis of Research Hotspots and Trends of MOOC-based Foreign Language Teaching

摘要

在全球开放教育运动蓬勃发展的背景下,教育与信息技术的结合是实现优质资源共享的重要手段。慕课始于2008年，从2012年开始席卷全球，而外语教学则是慕课应用的一个重要领域。慕课在中国外语教学方面的研究发展到现在，已经有5年时间。但是截止到2017年5月，基于慕课的外语教学热点和趋势的研究还很少。目前关于慕课和外语教学的研究呈现百花齐放百家争鸣的场面，因此需要有一个对过去发展情况的总结，这样才能为将来的研究提供启示。本文通过收集中国知网里关于慕课和外语教学的文献并以Refworks格式导出数据，利用Citespace软件，根据这些数据绘制出知识图谱并进行分析，研究发现慕课在外语教学方面的研究热点主要是翻转课堂、教学模式、教学改革和大学英语教学等研究领域。自主管理、学习成效、在线教育和教学设计等成为基于慕课的外语教学方面的研究趋势。

Abstract

With the vigorous development of the open education movement in the world, the combination of education and information technology is an important means to realize the sharing of high quality resources. Beginning in 2008, MOOC has swept the world since 2012. And foreign language teaching is one of the most important application fields of MOOC. It has been five years since foreign language teaching in MOOC begins to develop. But there is not any research of hotspot and trend about MOOC-based foreign language teaching until May, 2017. The research of MOOC and foreign language teaching is various at present. Therefore, it is necessary to draw a conclusion on the previous development, which is helpful to provide some related suggestions for the future research on MOOC and foreign language teaching. By analyzing the knowledge map drawn with Citespace, it could be found out that flipped classroom, teaching mode, educational reform, college English teaching are the hotspots of MOOC in foreign language teaching. And it can be predicted that self-management, learning outcome, e-learning and teaching design will become the research trends of foreign language teaching based on MOOC.
