摘要
Student engagement research in the field of English language teaching (ELT) has substantially increased in recent years. However, there is a research gap concerning the up-to-date analysis of the current state of student engagement research in ELT. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the historical evolution of trends in published articles, the most influential journals, leading researchers, contributing countries and institutions, impactful articles, emerging themes and methodological characteristics of student engagement research in ELT through bibliometric and content analysis. Data for the study were gathered from 175 research articles retrieved from Web of Science and Scopus databases. The findings indicate a growing interest in student engagement research in ELT, with a particular focus on learner psychology and writing skills, while reading, listening, and speaking received considerably less attention. The findings from the study offer resources, research ideas, avenues for publication, professional development, and collaboration.Abstract (in Turkish)Ö zİ ngiliz Dili Eğ itimi (English Language Teaching - ELT) alanı nda etkin öğ renci katı lı mı (student engagement) ü zerine yapı lan araş tı rmalar son yı llarda ö nemli ö lçü de artmış tı r.

Student engagement refers to the active and meaningful participation of students in educational processes and the level of effort and interest they show in these processes. Unlike participation, engagement requires a deeper level of commitment and interaction with learning materials; it is more than just physically attending classes or completing tasks. Student engagement in English language teaching (ELT) makes the language learning process more effective and meaningful. Therefore, many academic studies were conducted on student engagement in language teaching. A bibliometric analysis of these studies can provide us with a holistic perspective on student engagement. Bibliometric analysis is a method that measures how often and in what context publications and scientific studies are used. This helps us understand which topics are popular and which researchers or studies have the most impact. In a way, it is a research method that maps who is talking to whom in the scientific world, which ideas are trending, and how these ideas evolve over time. Accordingly, this study conducted a bibliometric and content analysis of 175 academic studies on student engagement, and as a result of these analyses, the most published authors, the journals with the most publications, the countries with the most publications, and research trends, gaps and methods in the field of student engagement in English language teaching were identified. The findings indicate a growing interest in student engagement research in ELT, with a particular focus on learner psychology and writing skills, while reading, listening, and speaking received considerably less attention. The findings from the study offer resources, research ideas, avenues for publication, professional development, and collaboration. We expect that these results will provide insights for researchers, teachers, teacher educators, and other stakeholders in the field of English language teaching.
