A Bibliometric Analysis on “E-Assessment in Teaching English as a Foreign Language” Publications in Web of Science (WoS)

Abstract

This chapter aimed to examine the e-assessment in second/foreign language teaching-themed international publications from WoS (Web of Science) using the bibliometric method, one of the literature review tools. In particular, the most prolific countries, annual scientific production, the most globally cited documents, authors, institutions, keywords, and changing research trends were analyzed. A total of 3352 research documents from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database were included in the analysis including publications until June 2022. In the analysis of the data obtained, the open-source R Studio program and the “biblioshiny for bibliometrix” application, which is an R program tool, were used. Based on the data analysis and discussions of these documents, this study has revealed some important results that will contribute to the field of trends of e-assessment in second/foreign language teaching.
