ABSTRACT

In recent years, English has increasingly become the common language for academic communication. This trend undoubtedly increases the difficulty for non-native English speakers to publish articles in international journals and gain academic recognition. As the carrier of scientific research papers, academic journals are a common way in international academic exchanges, which can help readers understand the latest developments in this field. In order to study the similarities and differences of titles of foreign language teaching research papers at home and abroad, this paper collected 1089 language education papers published in four important academic journals at home and abroad from 2012 to 2019, and established two corpora of language education papers at home and abroad, which were compared and analyzed from macro and micro dimensions. The results show that the proportion of language education papers in Chinese and English applied linguistics journals is roughly equal, and the contents are basically the same. English periodicals are highly focused on teaching, while Chinese periodicals pay more attention to the study of teaching materials, while the study of syllabus is weak and needs to be strengthened.
