The authors collected data of papers related to MASLL from Web of Science and then analyzed the sources, authors, papers, and conceptual structure. The result suggests that: the effects of technology on learning, vocabulary, personalized learning, learning environment, and learner attitudes are popular topics in this field; the attention on themes related to “technology” is fading away and the focus of MASLL research is shifting to themes related to “students”.
