Every thesis begins with a question.

For students, research may sometimes feel like a requirement to complete before graduation. Yet beyond the papers, methodologies, and deadlines lies something much simpler: curiosity.

This idea took center stage during the webinar “𝘉𝘈𝘌𝘓 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴: 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘛𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘤 𝘐𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘴,” held on September 25, 2026, with Dr. Rogela A. Flores, Chair of GEE/GEC, serving as the resource speaker. The event brought together BA English Language students, faculty members, and visiting faculty and students from the Main Campus, with Dr. Aida V***a V. Un and Dr. Sunleigh C. Gador.

The session encouraged students to examine previous undergraduate studies, recognize research trends, identify gaps in existing literature, and develop research topics that are relevant, novel, and feasible.

The discussion was especially meaningful for the third-year students of BAEL 3-Pierce and BAEL 3-De Saussure, who are currently taking CC 3113 – Language Research 1: Methodology under Miss Jelyn Arellano Pepito. Second-year BAEL students also participated through their English Discourse class, encouraged by Dr. Rowanne Mangompit.

One key takeaway stood out: finding a research topic is not only about asking, “Has this already been studied?” It is also about asking, “What has not yet been explored?”

By looking back at previous studies, students can discover gaps in participants, contexts, settings, variables, data sources, theoretical perspectives, and emerging developments.

Ultimately, the webinar reminded us that research is more than a graduation requirement. It is a journey that begins with a question, grows through curiosity, and leads toward discovering what remains unknown.

As Dr. Rogela A. Flores aptly put it:

“𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥.”

Sometimes, finding where to go next begins with taking a closer look at what has already been explored.
