A bibliometric review of flipped classroom approaches for enhanced students’ language learning

Abstract

The widespread use of contemporary flipped classrooms for teaching, especially in language learning, provides new insights. Flipped classrooms are two important aspects of language learning that produce impactful outcomes and understanding. It is essential that these processes be used to strengthen the system of language learning. We used PRISMA statement templates for bibliometric analysis. The analysis is based on publications from 2014 to 2023. We examined and analyzed 309 databases from Scopus to gain insights into flipped classrooms and language learning. Concurrently, distinct inclusion and exclusion standards were applied for the screening process. Through a bibliometric analysis, we have determined the distribution of publications on the impact of flipped classrooms on language learning between 2014 and 2023. Additionally, we have identified the most significant journals and authors, the prominent countries engaged, the primary research keywords, and the key subject areas explored. This study illustrates trends and suggestions for flipped classroom and language learning. Suggestions are also made to improve students’ academic performance by making full use of the effects of flipped classroom on language learning.
