Selecting a topic.

• Library Resources to Start With
• Advanced Search Techniques
• Recommended Databases

You have been asked to write or present about a research topic, but how do you come up with a topic? Here is a process to help.

• Think about what has been discussed in class. What are some broad topics that immediately come to mind?
• Skim your textbook, course readings, and notes for these topics. What do you already know about these topics?
• What would you like to know more about each topic? Phrase it as a question.

Now that you have a few broad topics, you need to select one that is appropriate for the assignment, has enough information available, and will hold your interest. For each of the topics you have generated, search a few keywords in Google , Library Search , and Google Scholar .

• Is there a lot of information available or only a few sources?
• What words are being used in titles and abstracts (article summaries) to describe the topic?
• Are there names, dates, places, things, etc. that are repeatedly mentioned?
• Is there anything more specific about a topic that sounds interesting?

• Writing Your Research Paper

Developing your Topic

Narrowing your topic.

Pop music in the US ⇒ Too big

The linguistic expression of pop music in the US  ⇒ It is still too big.

Language contact presence in pop music in the US ⇒ Narrowing it to language contact

Bilingualism in Latinx pop music in the US ⇒ Narrowing it to bilingualism and Latinx pop music

Topic :  Spanish language-infused pop music in the US: from code-switching to cultural appropriation

Activity: Your Research Topic

Research question.

For your "Projecto Final" you will research a topic related to Spanish and Spanish speakers in the United States. Your research question will be related to your topic. This question usually answers a matter not covered by previous scholarship.

Developing Research Questions: Your Purpose

Consider where your questions will lead you. Will your questions:

• How are the uses and attitudes of Spanish in Colorado differ for heritage speakers and native Spanish speakers?
• How did a topic happen in relation to another topic?
• What are the representations of Spanish and Spanish speakers in the media?
• What are the linguistic implications of Spanish in contact with other varieties and languages in the U.S.?
• Explain the significance of X and how you can measure this significance

What is the impact of bilingualism (Spanish-English) in educational contexts in the Boulder-Denver area?

• What are the consequences of X
• How does X affect Y
• How does Spanish contact with other varieties of languages affect the linguistic expression of musical artists in the US?
• What are the recommendations you presented in your paper?
• Present opposing views and argue in favor or against a view

What are the pros and cons of the Spanish language use in public and commercial signs as a mark for the linguistic landscape of the Longmont-Denver area?

Definition : An abstract summarizes the most important content of your paper sequentially, highlighting your research topic, the reason for your study, a basic description of your methodology, and important findings. Good abstracts use the active voice in the past tense and rely on brief but well-structured sentences.

Format : Abstracts are usually formatted in one block paragraph without indentations. Avoid unnecessary phrases, quotes, citations, or ambiguous content, and follow the publishing journal of choice for specific rules. Remember, your abstract should point to the key contents of your paper.

Parts of an Abstract

• Establish the topic of your study and why it is relevant (elevator pitch)
• Briefly refer to the methodology you followed
• State key findings from your study
• State main conclusions and implications

There are Three Types of Abstracts Used in Academic Writing

Descriptives Abstracts:

A descriptive abstract is usually formatted as a short paragraph summarizing your paper's main points and focusing on outlining the work. Sometimes these abstracts include the reason behind the study, a concise description of the methodology, and the scope of the study. Descriptive abstracts do not usually refer to the results or conclusions.

Informative Abstracts:

An informative abstract is usually formatted as a 300-words paragraph containing the purpose of the study, a brief methodology, the scope, and the summary of the results and conclusions. The author can also add recommendations.

Critical Abstracts:

A less used format is the critical abstract, a rather long paragraph containing a summary, main findings, and comparisons with other papers on the same topic.

What are journals?

A scholarly journal is a publication released in regular instalments which contains research relating to a particular subject area. These are often referred to as periodicals or serials.

Journals are useful when you:

• are seeking information for your assignment or literature review
• need to find recently published papers on a particular topic
• want to identify important and current research in your field
• commence the ‘scoping exercise’ for your research project.

Find journals using SuperSearch

SuperSearch is a portal that provides a single search across the majority of ANU Library resources.

SuperSearch  is a great place to start searching for journal articles. Here are some tips to get you started:

• Select  Articles  under Format to search for articles only.
• Select  Journals  under Format to search for journals only.
• Click  Journal Search  from the top menu to search by title or browse by category.
• Use Advanced Search to filter by a particular date of publication, language or format.

You can get additional help with searching for journal articles through the  Finding Journal Articles and More guide .

Find print journals

If you can't find the journal you need online, you can also search for print issues. If a print journal is available, it will list the Library branch it is located in under Location.

Issues of journals published before 1990 are usually stored off-campus at the  ANU Print Repository . To access these, go to the item record and click on Print Repository  under Find in Library  and you will be prompted to fill in a request form. Make sure you are logged in!

SCImago Journal & Country Rank

The  SCImago Journal & Country Rank  is a free and publicly available database that provides journal rankings based on citation data from SCOPUS, a major Elsevier scientific abstracting and indexing database. They understand that journal prestige is "a function not of just the quantity of citations received but of a combination of the quantity and the quality"  ( The SJR Indicator: A New Indicator of Journals' Scientific Prestige ). 

Use  SCImago's Journal & Country Rank  tool to see journal rankings by discipline i.e. "Language and Linguistics" or "Literature and Literary Theory" and/or by country.

Spanish Class Research Paper Topics

What the Byzantine Empire & Islam Have in Common

Research papers are a good learning -- and testing -- activity for a Spanish class. Writing a research paper gives the students a practical and creative way to use the language -- each sentence poses a new creative problem to solve. Spain is such a rich and colorful country that writing projects that match a wide variety of interests are easy to find--and Spanish is also spoken in many other countries.

Countries Other Than Spain

There are a lot of countries other than Spain where Spanish is spoken. The differences in how Spanish is spoken in various countries supply materials for dozens of essays. For one thing, the "z" is pronounced "th" in Spain and nowhere else. There is a legend that this is due to a Spanish king who lisped, but some scholars disagree. It is true that this sometimes causes confusion for words like "casa"-- house -- and "caza"-- hunt. There are also dialect differences in the way Spanish is spoken in different South American countries that is a source for some amusing anecdotes.

Regional Histories

The regions of Spain almost seem like different countries--each could be the subject of a Spanish class research paper. Andalusia is famous for flamenco, but also as an agricultural region and the home of Moorish monuments like the Alhambra. Catalan is the home of the Architect Antonio Gaudi -- and his unique style can be seen everywhere. It also has its own language and music. In the north of Spain is the mountainous region of the Basque. This region also has its own language and characteristic cuisine, which is completely different from the rest of Spain.

Famous Spaniards

Spain has produced famous people in all human endeavors: explorers, artists, musicians and scientists. Some of the most famous explorers of the New World were Spanish, including Cortez, Coronado, De Soto and Ponce de Leon. Many other famous explorers sailed from Spain, including Balboa, Magellan, Columbus and Vespucci. Some of the most famous painters in the world came from Spain, including Picasso, Diego Rivera, Goya, Velazquez and Salvador Dali. Foremost among Spanish scientists is Santiago Ramon y Cajal -- the Nobel Prize Winner who first identified the fundamental cellular structure of the brain. Each and every one of these famous individuals could be the subject of an engaging research paper.

Spanish Food

Spain is an agricultural region -- south of France and with a warmer climate. It is one of the major suppliers of fruits and vegetables to Europe. Like France, it has a rich and complex culinary tradition, ripe for a paper to be written that includes recipes and the history behind them. The only Spanish dishes known to most people are Piaia and horchata, but there are a rich array of meat and seafood dishes that are famous all over Europe. There are also recipes like Sangria (red wine, sugar and citrus fruits) that are enjoyed -- especially in Latin cultures -- all over the globe.

Why use research projects with students?

Research projects are an amazing way to engage students with the language and give them an opportunity to explore the culture, history, geography, and important figures. These projects allow for creativity, critical thinking, research skills, and (if you want) collaboration. Research projects also help build self-confidence as students practice their Spanish, discover new things about the culture, and develop a deeper understanding of a given topic.

How to get started with research projects

Research projects involve a lot of planning and clear directions. Start by giving your students an overview of the project and outlining the expectations. Be sure to select an appropriate level of difficulty with respect to language, content, resources, and length. Once your students know the general outline of the project, they can begin searching for information to create their final presentation. Finally, you should provide check-in points throughout the project so that you can observe student progress and offer feedback as needed.

I personally like to reach out to the school’s media specialist and ask for help with research. In some schools I’ve been in, the media specialist will come into my classes on the research day(s) to help support students and for another pair of eyes on screens while students are working. As a bonus, most media specialists will know if your school district pays for any sites or resources to help your students in their research!

Spanish Project Ideas

Whether students are working in a printable or digital format, there are great options for your students!

• Holidays and celebrations
• Spanish-Speaking Countries (poster)
• Create a tour of the Spanish-speaking countries (digital)
• Explore a Spanish-speaking country (digital)
• Hispanic Heritage Month
• Afro Latinos Famosos
• Famous Women throughout history

I hope these ideas are helpful for you! I have always found that having such a clear cut, print and go templates have really helped students to organize their thoughts and create a beautiful project to share their research with classmates and peers.
