Selecting a research topic should be out of interest and in line with the context of concern. That being said, you could check out the titles of MA theses rendered by the Department of Linguistics, at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, so that you can grasp the current trends in researching TESOL. Below is the link.

Good luck,

I have already answered this question. I am going to copy and paste here again.

No one can suggest a better research topic for anyone for successful and effective research without your help - without understanding your area of interest and your competence in that academic area. Ask yourself:

1- What do you like the most in your academic field?

2- What can you do better than other in this area?

3- What are the main problems in this area?

4- Which problem[s] can you solve/want to solve/discuss in a better way?

Moreover, look at the previous topics of the researchers because they can help you. When you make a web of ideas and topics in such a way, you can bring out a better research topic according to your interest and competence.

Dear Mr. Hosseiny!

The topic you are to specialize in must be interesting for you. At the same time I would try to fit it to a current problem in English teaching. I think you are on the good path now - the topic you are interested in seems relevant. I searched for YOU resources you might want to look at for new sets of idea:

Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely

The relationship between family upbringing and the student's level of English language comprehension.

The role of foreign films in shaping the student’s culture and its relationship to the assimilation and preservation of the English language.

I think you can write about any linguistic problem learners face when learning English as a foreign or a second language. You have to decide what is a real problem to foreign learners of English.

Could you Please suggest me a good topic in English teaching?

Any topic related to the use of the most recent technology in education can be a good topic. Of course, it basically depends on your interest.
