摘要：AbstractEach year a lot of master theses are written but the literature on language learning and teaching in Turkey does not include any studies that make an extensive analysis of these theses. To fill this gap, this study aims at analyzing the theses that have been written from 2005 to 2010 in MA ELT programs. To do this, selected master theses from five universities in Turkey were analyzed on the basis of a number of criteria related to topic and content. At the end of the study some conclusions are drawn about the common trends in ELT studies and this study suggests ways to conduct research in the mentioned field.
