English Language Dissertation Topics
English students are bright and highly creative. This means they tend to come up with brilliant ideas!
So, coming up with a dissertation topic should be easy, right?
Well, not necessarily.
Coming up with a topic can be stressful so you might try to avoid it. Alternatively, you might have hundreds of great ideas, but not know which one to settle on.
If that’s the case, then don’t worry. This article is here to help you move forward with choosing a topic for your dissertation – so let’s get started!
Sociolinguistics Dissertation Topics
Coming up with a topic, applied linguistics dissertation topics.
- Critical Perspectives for Language Students
Sociolinguistics is one of the most interesting aspects of English studies, especially in our modern, globalised world. Put simply, sociolinguistics is concerned with how social/cultural norms shape language. Since we are becoming increasingly globalised, there is a debate as to whether our culture and language systems are converging or diverging. Of course, there is no straightforward answer to this debate, and there is still much to learn about the link between society, culture, and language. Here are a few dissertation topics in sociolinguistics to get you started.
- Mapping the diachronic development of Disney Princesses: How is language used to portray femininity?
- ‘Well jel’!’ A sociolinguistic analysis of The Only Way is Essex.
- Are accents still being used to create alterity? A review of blockbuster films from 2019-2020. ‘
- Mapping second-generation immigrants’ usage of English within the family: When and Why?
- Politeness and official address (e.g., Sir, Madam, Teacher): A comparison between the UK and China.
- How do employees use and lose power in workplace meetings? A sociolinguistic analysis.
- Do males speak more frequently than females? A review of university seminars.
- Hedges in everyday speech: Why are we so uncertain?
- A sociolinguistic analysis of advertising for vegan products.
- A diachronic sociolinguistic analysis of cosmetics reviews 1950 – 2020.
- Polite participles in everyday speech: Is it a class thing?
- Building rapport via video conferencing: How does it differ from real-life?
- Analysing humour between native and non-native English speakers: How is it manifested?
- The language of love: universal or locally specific?
- A sociolinguistic analysis of comic book villains.
- The diachronic evolution of questioning.
Coming up with your own topic is no easy feat. Above all, it’s important to find a topic that interests you!
If you are an overseas student, you might find it interesting to compare language between the UK and your own country, for example.
So, let’s say you’re from China…
Research from Kaplan (1966) shows that native English speakers prefer to use deductive forms of discourse, whereas Chinese EFL speakers prefer inductive forms of discourse.
However, this research is quite out of date, and since many Chinese people have become English language learners since 1966 (and many now live in the UK), you might question whether this difference still persists…
And there you have it! A curious ‘gap’ in the literature that you can fill with your dissertation.

The field of language and linguistics is sometimes accused of being a bit ‘abstract’. But, in truth, linguistics can be applied to the real world, and these applications hold a great degree of significance, not only for language learning but for wider society. That said, if you’re a practical and solutions-focused person, you might enjoy working on an applied linguistics dissertation. Here are a few titles to inspire you:
- Children’s adoption of intensifying adverbs: How early should it be encouraged?
- Becoming a non-native teacher of English: Key challenges and opportunities.
- Delivering safety training to non-native English speakers – How to test comprehension?
- Pre-school language formation: Should we actively seek to neutralise gender differences?
- Online language learning during COVID-19: Opportunities and challenges.
- Telling my story: Refugees’ journeys through language learning and resettlement.
- Supporting translators in mental health settings – does more need to be done?
- How to teach syntax? A critical review of the approaches.
- Collaborative writing in the ESL classroom.
- The role of ‘active reflection’ in ESL teaching and learning.
Critical Perspectives for Language Students
As part of your degree, you have probably come across critical theories such as Feminism, Postcolonialism, and Race Theory. If that’s the case, you could choose to draw upon one or more of these critical theories in your dissertation. Here are just a few titles to consider:
- How is language used to portray Disney heroes and heroines? A feminist perspective.
- Are job adverts fair and equal? A critical race theory perspective.
- English as the lingua Franca: Exploring the effects on indigenous populations.
- ‘Welcome back to my channel’ How are women creating identities and communities on YouTube? A feminist perspective.

We hope this comprehensive list of literature thesis topics empowers you to narrow down your choices and sparks your curiosity in a specific area of literary studies. With 1000 unique topics spread across 25 categories, from traditional to emerging fields, there is something here for every literary scholar. The diversity of topics not only reflects the dynamic nature of literature but also encompasses a range of perspectives and cultural backgrounds, ensuring that every student can find a topic that resonates deeply with their scholarly interests and personal passions. Utilize this resource to embark on a thought-provoking and intellectually rewarding thesis writing journey.
Literature and Thesis Topic Potential
Literature encompasses a vast and vibrant spectrum of themes and narrative techniques that mirror, critique, and reshape the complex world we live in. For students embarking on the challenging yet rewarding journey of thesis writing, delving into the multitude of literature thesis topics can unlock profound insights and present significant scholarly opportunities. This exploration is not merely an academic exercise; it is a deep dive into the human experience, offering a unique lens through which to view history, culture, and society. Engaging with literature in this way not only enhances one’s understanding of various literary genres and historical periods but also sharpens analytical, critical, and creative thinking skills.
Current Issues in Literature
One prevailing issue in contemporary literary studies is the exploration of identity and representation within literature. This includes examining how narratives portray race, gender, sexuality, and disability. The rise of identity politics has encouraged a reevaluation of canonical texts and a push to broaden the literary canon to include more diverse voices. Such studies challenge traditional narratives and open up discussions on power dynamics within literature.
Another significant issue is the impact of digital technology on literature. The digital age has introduced new forms of literature, such as hypertext fiction and digital poetry, which utilize the interactive capabilities of digital devices to create multifaceted narratives. This shift has led to new interpretations of authorship and readership, as the boundaries between the two blur in interactive media. Thesis topics might explore how these technological innovations have transformed narrative structures and themes or how they affect the psychological engagement of the reader.
Environmental literature has also emerged as a poignant area of study, especially in the context of growing global concerns about climate change and sustainability. This trend in literature reflects an urgent need to address the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Theses in this area could examine narratives that focus on ecological disasters, the anthropocene, or the role of non-human actors in literature, providing new insights into environmental ethics and awareness.
Recent Trends in Literature
The recent trend towards blending genres within literature has led to innovative narrative forms that defy conventional genre classifications. Works that fuse elements of science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction challenge readers to engage with literature in new and complex ways. These hybrid genres often address contemporary issues through the lens of speculative or fantastical settings, offering fresh perspectives on familiar problems. Thesis topics in this area could explore how these blended genres comment on societal issues or how they represent historical narratives through a fantastical lens.
Another noteworthy trend is the increasing prominence of autobiographical and memoir writing, which highlights personal narratives and individual experiences. This shift towards personal storytelling reflects a broader societal interest in authentic and individualized narratives, often exploring themes of identity, trauma, and resilience. Students could develop thesis topics that analyze how these works serve as both personal catharsis and a social commentary, or how they use narrative techniques to blur the lines between fiction and non-fiction.
Global literature, written in or translated into English, has expanded the geographical boundaries of literary analysis and introduced a plethora of voices and stories from around the world. This trend not only diversifies the range of literary works available but also introduces new themes and narrative strategies influenced by different cultural backgrounds. Thesis research could investigate how global literature addresses universal themes through culturally specific contexts, or how it challenges Western literary paradigms.
Future Directions in Literature
As literature continues to evolve, one of the exciting future directions is the potential integration of literary studies with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning. These technologies could lead to new forms of literary creation and analysis, where AI-generated literature becomes a field of study, or where machine learning is used to uncover patterns in large volumes of text. Thesis topics might explore the ethical implications of AI in literature, the authenticity of AI-authored texts, or how AI can be used to interpret complex literary theories.
Another future direction is the increasing intersection between literature and other disciplines such as neuroscience, psychology, and anthropology. This interdisciplinary approach can deepen understanding of how literature affects the human brain, influences behavior, or reflects cultural evolution. Students could develop theses that examine the neurocognitive impacts of reading fiction, or how literary studies can contribute to our understanding of human culture and societal development.
Finally, the role of literature in addressing and influencing social and political issues is likely to increase. As global challenges like migration, inequality, and climate change persist, literature that addresses these issues not only provides commentary but also raises awareness and fosters empathy. Future thesis topics could focus on how literature serves as a tool for social justice, how it influences public policy, or how it helps shape collective memory and identity in times of crisis.
The exploration of literature thesis topics offers students a panorama of possibilities for deep academic inquiry and personal growth. By engaging deeply with literature, students not only fulfill their academic objectives but also gain insights that transcend scholarly pursuits. This exploration enriches personal perspectives and fosters a profound appreciation for the power of words and stories. The pursuit of literature thesis topics is thus not merely academic—it is a journey into the heart of human experience, offering endless opportunities for discovery and impact.

Frequently Researched Topics in English Language Theses and Dissertations: Basis for Future Researches
Abstract Theses and dissertations take a resounding part in catering the needs of the learners in education. To be fully aware of the topics chosen is one of the eminent pointer to remember when conducting a research. This qualitative descriptive research reviewed the frequently investigated topics of the theses and dissertations of masters and doctoral students who were specializing in the field of language education in the graduate program of the School of Teacher Education, Saint Louis University (STE - SLU). The researches were treated according to the five (5) macro skills in the English language. It was found out that of the five (5) macro skills, speaking is the frequently investigated topic from 2011-2014 followed by reading, writing, listening, and viewing. It is then a challenge for the researchers to explore on the other areas of the macro skills especially viewing since there are no studies conducted yet in this skill. Keywords: macro skills, listening, speaking, viewing, writing, reading, language education

This study aimed to determine the performance of the grade 7 learners in five macro communication skills in English language learning at Cotabato City National High School-Main. Campus. Specifically, it determined their performance in listening focused on stress and intonation, speaking focused on correct production of vowel and consonant sounds and pitch levels, reading focused on comprehension and use of appropriate reading style, writing focused on writing purposes and sequencing sentences, and viewing focused on identifying meaning of signs and symbols and use of structural analysis. Finally, it determined the skills they performed best and worst. Thus, the subjects of this study were the 728 grade 7 students of CCNHS-Main Campus in the school year 2022-2023. Their performance in five macro communication skills were measured. The researcher used a quantitative descriptive design particularly teacher-made test in listening, speaking, reading, viewing and writing. The test questionnaire was based on the K-12 Curriculum Guide competencies which consisted of 50 test items for the five macro communication skills and divided it into 10 test items in each skill. Furthermore, after conducting the test, the results were analyzed and interpreted and came up with an output which is intervention materials in macro communication skills in English (listening, speaking, reading and writing). The intervention materials aims to help the grade 7 students in improving their communication skills namely listening, speaking, reading and writing. The findings revealed the following: the performance level of the grade 7 students in listening, speaking, and reading are all described as "did not meet expectations"; the grade 7 learners' performance in viewing skill is found to be in the "very satisfactory" level; in writing skill, the grade 7 learners' performance level is described as "fairly satisfactory"; their performance level in five macro communication skills is described as "fairly satisfactory"; and the learners perform best in viewing while they perform worst in reading. Based on the findings, it is concluded that the grade 7 learners are good viewers but they have very poor performance level in terms of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The following recommendations are offered based on the findings and conclusion: the language teachers should utilize different strategies and activities to help improve students' deficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing; there is a need for students to involve actively in interactive activities in school or watch English tutorial videos in speaking and listening to enhance their listening and speaking skills, likewise, they may also engage in writing tasks to eventually overcome their deficiency in writing and they may expose themselves in different reading texts or books in order to improve their reading comprehension level; the school administrators should provide opportunities for the students to develop and to enhance their communication skills through different events conducted inside and outside the school such as seminar-workshops, trainings, and academic festivals or contests; the intervention materials constructed as an output should be used by the language teachers to remediate learners' learning gaps; language teachers should integrate viewing English programs activity to enhance the students' speaking skill; the Department of Education and school administrators should intensify monitoring the efficient implementation of reading programs under DepEd and see to it that all schools implement it, teachers need to implement the reading program religiously; and future researchers may conduct further study about the students' English communication skills using different setting and respondents to validate the results of the study.

The efficacy of macro-linguistics in developing reading skills
Korkut Uluç İşisağ
Studies regarding reading skills have been carried out for a long time. However, the bond between linguistics and foreign language teaching, especially reading skills, has been frequently overlooked. Thus, this study which aims to emphasize the importance and need of linguistics offers an alternative way of dealing with reading texts. In this context, after reviewing the literature about some major fields of macro-linguistics such as, pragmatics, neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics briefly, a relationship is established between the interdisciplinary areas listed above and foreign language teaching, mainly reading skills. The study is intended to help foreign language teachers to enrich their teaching reading experiences via keeping the core fields of macro-linguistics in mind. Thus, as an implication, an integrated lesson plan is developed in the study to demonstrate the efficacy of macro-linguistics in developing reading skills. Based upon the observations conducted, aforementioned plan highlights that the students are kept aware and motivated, reflect their experiences, have ideas about the register and intralingual and interlingual vernaculars of the language displayed in the text. The data is collected through student observations, performances and samples of their works. The results of the study indicated that foreign language students' comprehension levels of a reading text could be increased with the realization of macro-linguistics.

Each skill of English language and the mastery of non-natives over these skills are always ambivalent not only for achieving a good conceptual knowledge but also for maintaining a sound communication in basic arenas like education, business and conversation. The futility to understand the spoken or written text puts the nonnatives far behind and they even cannot make out what is taught as a part of learning. This paper will concentrate on the basic components of English language such as reading, listening, speaking and writing on the one hand and theimpediments faced by the second language learners(L2 learners) in academic arena and working environment on the other hand.The discussion will be made on the ground of experiential knowledge which includes direct observation and theoretical analysis which facilitate the learners to possess more information and dictum of experts analyzing these issues. In addition to the strategies stated above, a number of experiments applied among the L...

Thesis Topics Related to Language Learning and Acquisition
ESL Topics for a Research Paper
Language learning and acquisition is an excellent potential thesis topic for students working towards a master's degree in English, Linguistics, Education or English as a Second Language (ESL). It is also a good choice for seniors who have opted for the thesis option, especially those in honors programs. Specific topic choices are plentiful, ranging from general areas like developmental language acquisition in children to demographic studies of international students in college.
One of the best areas of specialization to begin looking for topics for the thesis is has to do with theories on how children learn language. Most research in this area will fit well into the one or two semester model of thesis research and writing. Students will find a fascinating array of possibilities, like best practices for language facilitation among prekindergarten children, or the role of music in the developmental stages of speech and language training. The latter topic could even lend itself to studies of children with autism disorders. You could also concentrate on a specific demographic, such as fifth-grade English language learners.
Another excellent possibility for thesis topics would be to concentrate your research in a technology-related area. For example, you could examine the relationship between computer-assisted language learning and success among two different study groups, such as boys and girls. Other good topics would include the use of web technologies for language interaction or the use of smart phone apps in language learning: Demographic groups that would offer interesting studies along these lines would include Japanese students in American colleges, children of multilingual families or Latino students who spend a good deal of time using social networking.
Second Language
The trials, tribulations and successes of second language learners also make for interesting theses. Along these lines, you could investigate the effects of reflective journal writing on a particular student population, such as Romanian or Japanese students. You would likely also find fascinating the possibility of topics such as vocabulary learning strategies for speakers of English who are trying to learn Chinese, possibly comparing the success rates of those who do so in the United States versus in China. Another engaging topic would be the perceptions of ESL teachers who work with adolescent learners with specific learning disabilities.
Special Subjects
Finally, you could simply choose to write on a specialized topic for your thesis, provided you get the approval of your thesis director. You could investigate motivational teaching strategies for foreign language learning by teens or the use of multimedia to help Thai and Filipino college students learn independently. You could even decide to examine the efficacy of a specific learning theory, such as Mezirow's Transformative Learning Theory, which involves critical thinking and goes beyond knowledge acquisition, using active engagement and questioning.
