Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the research into the flipped classroom-based foreign language teaching abroad from the four perspectives of general research trends, research foundation, research hotspots, priorities and trends, and research results and reflection and research methods, based on the research papers published abroad from the year 2012 to 2018, with the help of the method of Citespace visual analysis and manual statistics. The results indicate that: 1) At present, researches in this field is increasing, and the basic researches are mostly from other disciplines; 2) The research focus and key points in this field include four aspects: teacher education, professional purpose, oral expression and technical equipment acceptance; 3) From the content of the research, the researchers use experimental and contrasting methods to explore the application of the flipped classroom in foreign language teaching from the experience and feelings of the students; 4) Most of the research results prove the positive influence of the flipped classroom on promoting foreign language teaching, but there are still some studies that question the promotion efficiency of the flipped classroom; 5) Empirical research far outweighs theoretical research in research nature and methodologies, and it shows a trend of cross-domain integration with brain science research. Based on the analytical results, the paper discusses the limitations of the foreign research on the flipped classroom-based foreign language teaching, and proposes directions and prospects for its future development.
