A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNING: TRENDS AND SUGGESTIONS

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate trends and suggestions related to second language pedagogical strategies. A total of 31 articles from both leading (Scopus and Taylor & Francis) and alternative (Google Scholar and MyCite) databases were selected and analysed. In answering the research question, the present study adopts the systematic literature review (SLR) method by incorporating in-depth Evaluation of past studies from 2015 to 2020. Therefore, the research divides second language pedagogical strategies into four trends, namely computer-assisted language learning, module-assisted language learning, student-centred language learning styles and teacher-centred language learning. The findings indicate that computer-assisted learning comprising of module creation, e-learning and learning-based games are frequently used as the choice in tandem with the country’s education development. The study hopes that the acquired suggestion strategies are beneficial for stakeholders involved in second language learning education.
