This systematic review of 170+ journal articles showcases the current trends and developments in Turkey-based applied linguistics and language education research between 2016–2022. The current review presents similarities to the previous reviews (Alptekin & Tatar, 2011; Aydınlı & Ortaçtepe, 2018) in terms of trends and practices that indicate a vibrant research scene and a community of practice in Turkey within language education and applied linguistics research. While certain research areas such as instructional technologies remain widely popular among Turkey-based scholars, there has been growing interest in multiculturalism, social justice language education, critical pedagogy, and culturally responsive teaching. It was also clear in our analysis that the demands by the Higher Education Council for academic promotion exacerbated some of the already-existing challenges also noted in the previous reviews. Some of the concerns include pre- and post-test study designs that focus on practical concerns and outcomes rather than on processes that would lead to conceptual or theoretical development; and lack of engagement with broader (inter)disciplinary debates. We hope that this review will help establish conversations among fellow scholars in terms of future directions that applied linguistics and language education research in Turkey can take in order to contribute to the larger discussions in the field.

土耳其的应用语言学和语言教育研究:2016-2022
这篇对 170 多篇期刊文章的系统综述展示了 2016 年至 2022 年土耳其应用语言学和语言教育研究的当前趋势和发展。当前的综述在趋势和实践方面与之前的综述(Alptekin & Tatar,2011;Aydınlı & Ortaçtepe,2018)有相似之处,表明土耳其在语言教育和应用语言学研究方面存在充满活力的研究场景和实践社区。虽然教学技术等某些研究领域在土耳其学者中仍然广泛流行,但人们对多元文化主义、社会正义语言教育、批判性教学法和文化响应式教学的兴趣日益浓厚。我们的分析还清楚地表明,高等教育委员会对学术晋升的要求加剧了之前评论中也提到的一些已经存在的挑战。其中一些问题包括测试前和测试后的研究设计,这些设计侧重于实际问题和结果,而不是导致概念或理论发展的过程;缺乏参与更广泛的(跨)学科辩论。我们希望这篇综述将有助于学者们就土耳其应用语言学和语言教育研究的未来方向建立对话,以便为该领域更广泛的讨论做出贡献。其中一些问题包括测试前和测试后的研究设计,这些设计侧重于实际问题和结果,而不是导致概念或理论发展的过程;缺乏参与更广泛的(跨)学科辩论。我们希望这篇综述将有助于学者们就土耳其应用语言学和语言教育研究的未来方向建立对话,以便为该领域更广泛的讨论做出贡献。其中一些问题包括测试前和测试后的研究设计,这些设计侧重于实际问题和结果,而不是导致概念或理论发展的过程;缺乏参与更广泛的(跨)学科辩论。我们希望这篇综述将有助于学者们就土耳其应用语言学和语言教育研究的未来方向建立对话,以便为该领域更广泛的讨论做出贡献。
