Technology integration into Chinese as a foreign language learning in higher education: An integrated bibliometric analysis and systematic review (2000–2024)
As Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) becomes increasingly popular worldwide, it is also influenced by modern educational technology. This article seeks to comprehensively review the current research status of technology integration into CFL learning in higher education. Using the Web of Science as the primary database and employing VOSviewer and CitNetExplorer to visualize literature, we conducted bibliometric analysis and systematically reviewed 64 included articles published between 2000 and 2024. Visualization analysis shows popular issues, such as technology acceptance, technology-supported collaborative learning, Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK), self-efficacy, and gender stereotypes. Educational technologies possess characteristics highly adaptable to CFL classrooms in higher education, with mobile- and computer-assisted language learning dominating the field. Regarding CFL skills, most studies focused on technology’s role in enhancing students’ speaking and communication skills. Overall, our research contributes valuable insights by summarizing the effectiveness of technology application in CFL higher education, paving the way for future studies and practices to further explore how technology can be maximally integrated into classrooms to enhance CFL students’ proficiency and learning experiences.
