Abstract
The objective of this article is to determine the current state of language teaching in the scientific field, establishing the current trends taking into account different variables such as the years of production, the type of scientific production, more prolific countries and authors, institutions, among others. The purpose is also to provide a defined profile of everything related to the subject so that it is a reference. The applied method is a bibliometric type study, carried out through the evaluation of performance and the creation of science maps, thus assessing the conceptual evolution of the object of study. The results of this work express the performance of the scientific production and the structural and thematic development, showing in this way that language teaching is a subject that has a great impact and incidence in the scientific community, in addition to observing three research topics based on the study of language teaching, which are the learning and teaching of languages based on tasks, the acquisition of languages and the teaching-learning of the same.
