Digital Pedagogy in English Language Education: A Bibliometric Review of Blended Learning, Learning Management Systems, and Technology-Enhanced Instruction

Abstract This study aimed to systematically review an integrated decade of digital-pedagogy scholarship in English language education (2015–2025) by combining a PRISMA 2020 systematic review with bibliometric mapping. An 866-article Scopus corpus retrieved 7 July 2026 was distilled from 2,858 records through 1,917 candidate studies and 867 date-filtered records, and analysed with VOSviewer and Biblioshiny. Results indicated that three pillars structure the field's evidence base: Blended Learning as the most prominent pillar; Learning Management Systems concentrating around data-driven optimisation; and Advanced Technologies — AI, ChatGPT, VR/AR, big data, and IoT — reaching data-driven consolidation earliest following ChatGPT's November 2022 release, while Institutional Readiness and Teacher Competence emerged as the cross-cutting determinant conditioning the three pillars' implementation at scale. Bibliometric insights surfaced an Asian–Gulf country co-authorship axis led by China, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Malaysia alongside under-representation of Global South classrooms; a three-phase trajectory — technological foundations (2016–2020), learner-centred investigations (2021–2023), and data-driven optimisation (2024–2025); and four forward-agenda gaps covering assessment redesign, equity and access, teacher cognition, and methodological transparency. This review contributes by linking pedagogy, infrastructure, and teacher readiness, offering a unified framework for reading the three pillars jointly rather than as parallel research conversations. The findings offer guidance for educators, policymakers, and researchers pursuing integrative, equity-anchored, and methodologically transparent digital pedagogy in English language education.
