近十年(2015~2025)国内英语口语教学研究述评——基于CiteSpace的可视化分析

A Review of Domestic Research on English Speaking Teaching in the Last Decade (2015~2025)—Visual Analysis Based on CiteSpace

摘要: 随着全球化与中国对外开放深化，英语口语能力作为跨文化交际核心技能被纳入国家外语教育改革重点。然而，国内该领域研究存在资源不均、脉络模糊、评价体系单一等问题。本研究旨在运用CiteSpace软件分析2015年至2025年间中国国内关于英语口语教学的研究现状。结果显示，近十年研究呈现三大特征：理论上，具身认知等理论推动翻转课堂等模式创新；技术上，智能工具广泛应用，但存在互动深度与伦理问题；实践中，情境教学等策略提升特定领域能力，但研究群体集中于大学生，职业教育与农村地区关注不足。该研究为优化口语教学研究资源配置提供数据支撑，对突破哑巴英语困境具有方法论启示，同时为教育信息化背景下口语教学改革提供参考。

Abstract: With the deepening of globalization and China’s opening-up, oral English proficiency, as a core skill in cross-cultural communication, has been incorporated into the focus of national foreign language education reform. However, research in this field in China is confronted with issues, such as uneven resource distribution, vague research context, and a single evaluation system. This study intends to analyze the research status of oral English teaching in China from 2015 to 2025 by applying CiteSpace software. The results indicate that the research over the past decade exhibits three key characteristics: Theoretically, theories like embodied cognition have driven the innovation of teaching models such as the flipped classroom; Technically, intelligent tools have been widely adopted, yet problems related to the depth of interaction and ethics persist; Practically, strategies including situational teaching have enhanced capabilities in specific fields, but the research groups are concentrated on college students, with insufficient attention given to vocational education and rural areas. This study provides data support for optimizing the allocation of research resources in oral English teaching, offers methodological insights for breaking through the predicament of dumb English, and meanwhile serves as a reference for the reform of oral English teaching against the backdrop of educational informatization.
