To gain an in-depth understanding of the development status and trend of research on learner corpora, the study, employing the Web of Science (WoB) as a data source, conducts a statistical analysis of research on learner corpora published in internationally renowned academic journals from 2007 to 2021, focusing on the respects of research trends, disciplines, journals, language, and content, and others. Results showed that the international research on learner corpora is characterized by an interdisciplinary tendency, diverse topics, single language, and uneven distribution. Based on these features, relevant suggestions are made for both learners and teachers.
