Trends and Patterns of Integrated Curriculum in Language Teaching: A Bibliometric Study

This study adopts a bibliometric perspective and focuses on the research topic of curriculum integration in language teaching. This study thoroughly investigates the present research scene and developmental patterns by methodically evaluating and analysing pertinent literature from specified data sources and using scientific knowledge mapping tools such CiteSpace and VOS viewer. The study reveals the primary academic forces and cooperative networks inside the field of educational language teaching research by concentrating on the distribution patterns of core authors, top journals, major countries, and institutions. Keyword co-occurrence analysis and clustering study help to clearly show the present research hotspots and their internal interactions, so pointing up possible development directions including multidisciplinary integration and technologically advanced language learning. Further more underlined in the study are research shortages in fields including student learning motivation and teacher professional development. Through a summary of the current knowledge structures and developmental paths, this study also tackles problems such regional inequalities and research fragmentation. It seeks to offer a methodical and all-encompassing reference for the ongoing development of the discipline, therefore fostering creativity in educational theory and practice. The work has important theoretical and pragmatic consequences.
