English Language Teaching Articles Published in the TR Indexed Journals: A Systematic Analysis from 2020 to Present
Öz
With the increasing volume of literature on English Language Teaching (ELT) globally, Türkiye is actively working to enhance its language teaching practices. Therefore, a significant number of studies have focused on this issue by examining various ELT contexts. To shed light on the recent ELT research trends in education faculty journals, this exploratory descriptive research provided an analysis of studies conducted in the field of ELT in Türkiye. By filtering the education faculty journals of Turkish universities indexed by the TR Index published between 2020 and 2023, the analysis listed 23 journals and 122 ELT studies they published. The articles were analyzed using document analysis, and qualitative content analysis was employed to determine the type of research, keyword trends, methodology, sample features, data collection tools, and language used in the articles. The results shed light on current publication trends in the field and highlighted possible research gaps for future studies.
