topics for my research ( EDU 702: Research Methodology)

One of the subjects that I take this semester is Research Methodology. In the first semester, we are asked to come out with a topic of our interest. Well, I have a few in my mind right now.

These are some examples:

1. Autonomous Learning in ESL classroom.At first,I thought this would be good, but then I am not pretty sure of which area I want to focus on out of the 4 skills. I am not that confident that this topic might work for me. 

2. Task based learning in ESL classroom (focusing on oral competency)

Being in a matriculation college, I found that though the students who enrolled here are selected and some of them are deemed as the cream of the crop, it might not be surprising if I say that there are some students who have very low mastery in English competency(  they don't really understand basic instructions and  phrases in English) and they have low self-esteem in speaking in front of the public. Some might hesitate to speak because they are afraid in making errors , having lack of confidence, not motivated, feeling inferior towards those who can speak better , and others. Therefore I think I can do this topic for my research as it is something that sparks some interest and curiosity in me, and I have access to the population.

3. Blended learning in ESL/EFL classroom
This topic is popular and there are so many journals/ articles that I can refer to. However it is not really practised in the place where I am working now.

So, these are some of topics that I have in my mind.The areas are somewhat not current but the scope of these respective fields are 
applicable in today's class. 

Assalamulaikum.

Here are some of the updates of what I am currently doing right now.

1. I am in the fourth week of doing my Masters in Education (TESL) in UITM, Shah Alam.
I have been longing to pursue Masters since 2 -3 years ago, but things happened in life. I got pregnant with triplet and I dedicate my time and life in taking care of my children. 

2. I am still attached with Kolej Matrikulasi Selangor. Working full time. And yes, studying full time.It's getting hard and yes talking about time management. I usually tell my students, you have to manage your time wisely. Well, I don't really walk the talk. hahhahha.....

3. Still juggling with my life as a mother, wife and a lifetime supporter to my husband, a daughter to my mom, a big sister to my younger siblings,a teacher to my students, a friend, and most importantly a devotee to Allah swt.

4. Still thinking of what I really want in life.
