尽管我们经常谈论 CALL 作为一门学科的发展及其作为一个研究领域的发展,但迄今为止还没有收集到足够的证据来证明这一点。本描述性研究调查了 CALL 研究成果的现状和变化及其理论基础、证据收集方法和报告标准等特征。它基于对 1980 年至 2000 年在 7 种英语期刊上发表的 91 篇研究论文的数值分析。 CALL 从这项研究中脱颖而出,成为一个快速发展的研究领域,它借鉴了许多同源学科日益多样化的理论和方法。 CALL 研究人员对他们的研究越来越有信心,这反映在检查样本中的高水平概括上。然而,他们的报告中并未对研究可信度问题给予适当关注。
Though we often speak of the development of CALL as an academic discipline and its growth as a field of inquiry, little evidence has to date been gathered to prove it. This descriptive study investigates the current state of and changes in CALL research output and its characteristics such as theoretical foundation, method of evidence gathering, and reporting standards. It is based on a numerical analysis of 91 research articles published in 1980–2000 in seven English language journals. CALL emerges from this study as a fast developing area of research, which draws on an increasingly diverse body of theory and methods from a number of cognate disciplines. CALL researchers are increasingly more confident about their research, as reflected in the high level of generalization present in the examined sample. This is not however matched by proper attention given in their reports to research credibility issues.
