本文187篇国际权威期刊中有关多模态语言教学的论文及共被引文献为数据来源,运用 CiteSpace 5.7.R1 进行可视化研究,分析出整体趋势,基于中心值挖掘高学术影响力文献,通过关键词聚类得出核心研究领域。研究发现:国外研究整体呈波动性增长的积极态势;核心领域分别为二语习得策略、语言教学理论及方法､多模态意义构建和多模态读写能力。研究启示为理论上重视语言习得策略和人脑记忆规律;实践上重视师生技术层面培训和构建虚拟学习共同体。

Based on CiteSpace 5.7.R1 system, this paper conducts a visual analysis of 187 research articles and their co-cited references retrieved from world authoritative journals in the field of multimodal language teaching abroad. The study analyzes the trends in multimodal language teaching via the visualization tool, obtains core issue and research front through the high impact research articles with centrality, as well as the key words cluster. The results show that the research abroad has been on the increase trends overall with fluctuation; the core issue and research front is related with strategies in SLA, language teaching theories and methods, multimodal meaning construction and multiliteracies. It suggests that we should attach importance to strategies in SLA and the rules of memory in theory; while in practice, we should attach importance to the multimodal language teaching technology capacity training for teachers and students, as well as to build a virtual learning community.
