Digital teaching materials have become a hot topic in the field of teaching material research in the digital education era.Through the literature review of digital foreign language teaching materials in the past two decades,a new trend can be found from episteme to phronesis in terms of research approach,which is manifested in the transformation from the static text oriented,non-subject and de-contextualized research perspective and paradigm to the dynamic exploration of the quality and at-tributes of teaching materials from the perspective of teachers and students as the subjects and the teaching practice of text-books as the research context.The exploration of the transformation of the current research paradigm dominated by phronesis is the key to grasp the characteristics and trends of digital teaching materials research.This paper makes a comprehensive review of the above two approaches to the study of digital foreign language teaching materials,with the purpose of providing a refer-ence in paradigm and method for the future study.
