Abstract

This study retrievals papers on autono-mous learning published in 14 key foreign linguistics journals from 1998 to 2012 in CNKI. By using bibliometric method, it conducted a statistical analysis of papers on autonomous learning in three aspects: research contents, research methods and subjects. The analysis reveals that China has made certain progress in the filed of autonomous learning research during 15 years. The number of published papers has been increasing. The research contents are increasingly comprehensive. Moreover, the research methods and subjects are gradually diversified. However, there are still some problems. The research contents are over concentrated with less innovative per-spectives. The subjects are unbalanced and the empirical research methods need to be strengthened. On this basis, sugges-tions on future studies are proposed.
