Mapping Business English Researches Globally: A Bibliometric Analysis Using VOS Viewer

Abstract

The specific objectives of this study are 1) to describe the global business English
research overview, 2) to describe business English research and Co-Authorship in
English, and 3) to indicate research gaps and provide recommendations for further
research in Business English. This was literature review research. The database in this
research was the Scopus database which is accessed via https://www.sciencedirect.com/
page, and the data were articles published in Scopus. The data was analysed using
VOSviewer software. The results of this research indicated that this research was related
to the possibility of future research related to Business English, for example in general,
when talking about Business English, the research setting in Indonesia was still limited
to Scopus. It could be seen that the setting was still dominated by China and Singapore.
In addition, Business English was closely related to the field of professional
communication both in oral and written language. Then, the context of Business English
research was focused on higher education, and has not touched on vocational high
schools, where graduates are prepared to enter the world of work, for example, vocational
high schools in the fields of hospitality, health and so on.
