In the field of English language learning, the application of the TPACK framework plays an important role. This study aims to visualize the framework of TPACK and its application in English language learning. By employing both VOSviewer and CitNetExplorer, we visualize and discuss the main clusters of author keywords in TPACK based on co-occurrence analyses, as well as the top authors, organizations, and countries in the field of TPACK. Through the longest paths, we also explore the concept and main challenges in the framework of TPACK, the role of TPACK among pre-service teachers and in online education, the relationships between the components in the framework of TPACK, and the relationship between TPACK and teachers' professional development. The application of TPACK to English language learning is also discussed in detail. Future research could focus on the application of TPACK in English language learning. Online technologies are an important component of TPACK. Therefore, this article is appropriate for the journal.
