Hello! I have some questions for you all regarding a research proposal I am working on for my ESL Theory class. I’m thinking about writing a proposal for a study that investigates whether someone that has learned an L3 and doesn’t use their L2 will experience more or less language attrition than someone who doesn’t use their L2 and doesn’t know an L3? I am thinking that in the proposal I will propose a longitudinal study where I will test students or whoever that is learning an L2 and will determine their ability, then after a year or two (or more?) of not using the L2 and the other half of the participants not using the L2 but also learning a L3, I will test the participants on the same skills that they were test on before to see which group experiences more L2 attrition. I will potentially add another variable: I will have some of the participants in the group that learned an L3 have two typologically similar L2’s and L3’s and the other half typologically different L2’s and L3’s. I will also be studying adults as kids are studied more in this regards. I have some sources I could potentially use to justify this. Do you have any ideas for things I could search for to get sources? I’ve tried all the obvious ones, and I’ve been checking JSTOR, ERIC, and the Linguistics Database from ProQuest Central. If you have any suggestione at all please tell me. Or if this interests you and you happen to know something about it or some article or study related to this please let me know. I know this is very vague and may be stupid, but this is my only idea so far for a proposal for my ESL Theory class and it’s due on Wednesday. I’ve been focusing too hard on my sociolinguistics study you may have seen 😕 at least that one is going well lol. If you can think of anything that can help me, please let me know! PM me! Or write here! Submitted February 23, 2020 at 08:35PM by majoses77 https://ift.tt/38Upc3g
