Abstract:
In the current context of educational innovation, more and more studies emphasize the key role of reading comprehension and reading comprehension skills. However, there is not much general research in this field, especially using bibliometric methods. Therefore, this study was conducted to overview the main trends in the research field of reading comprehension and reading comprehension skills. A total of 1997 publications published from 2013 to 2023 were analyzed from the Scopus database. In particular, publishing trends, countries and institutions with the most research, and keywords used in the research field were explored and analyzed using bibliometric indices based on PRISMA and VOSviewer software version 1.6.16 to visualize and analyze citation networks. In addition, from a detailed review of the 47 cited publications, four prominent groups are generally studied: the impact and influence of factors on learners' reading comprehension skills; solutions and strategies to develop reading comprehension skills for learners; Teaching tools and forms used to build reading comprehension skills for learners and the importance and relationship of reading comprehension. Based on the findings, this study also proposes some new research directions for the future.
