In recent years, multilingual teacher education has garnered substantial attention. We embarked on a comprehensive bibliometric analysis spanning 16 years (2007-2023) to illuminate this evolving field. Employing Scopus database and Boolean operators, we conducted searches in English, using the Bibliometrix package in RStudio and Biblioshiny web apps for analysis. Our investigation unveiled consistent publication and citation growth over the past 16 years, with an upsurge observed in 2022. A standout among the top cited documents was Airey's 2012 paper, amassing 196 citations. Lo YY emerged as the most prolific author, contributing ten papers to the field. Notably, the "International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism" held a central role as the primary journal. The University of Jyvaskyla made substantial contributions, solidifying its position as a leading institution. Spain, China, and the UK were the most active countries, showcasing their commitment to multilingual teacher education research. Our analysis highlighted the significance of researchers forging collaborations with established authors and institutions. Identifying research hotspots and gaps within this burgeoning field is paramount, guiding future research endeavors. This bibliometric analysis provides a roadmap for researchers seeking to contribute meaningfully to the dynamic realm of multilingual teacher education. By capitalizing on established partnerships and recognizing key areas of interest, researchers can navigate this domain effectively, driving progress and innovation.
