Outline for conceptual framework

Introduction for all constructs: The names and years do not reflect actuality. It is merely a sample model. In order for this research proposal to have a theoretical ground, four concepts will guide the development of this study. Interlanguage, which refers to two linguistic systems combined; transfer, which is the use of L1 features in learning L2; motivation, which involves the internal drive towards learning; and errors, which represent mistakes, will provide the study with the necessary theoretical principles to organize the focus of inquiry. Interlanguage will be explored through the contributions by Selinker (1985), Lightbown (1990), and Krashen (2000). The concept of transfer will be explained based on Krashen’s (1987), Selinker’s (1995), and Alvarez’ (2012) ideas on the matter. Ideas and arguments by Giraldo (1983), Giraldo (1997), and Cardenas (2010) will be presented to support the construct of motivation. Finally, errors will be defined taking into consideration Uchima (1970), Echeverry (1989), and Arias (2007). At the end of each theoretical concept, a definition by the researcher will be presented, and its contribution to the research study will be argued. The concept map below shows the reader an overview of the relevant terms for the present study. Include concept map: concepts and sub-concepts plus authors and years
