Concept Paper
 Concept paper is a summary document of a project proposal
that tells what the project is all about, the reasons for conducting the
project and how it will be carried out.
Three Ways in Elucidating a Concept Before
writing a concept paper

Definition

 Definition

explaining the concept by answering, “What does it

mean?” This makes of an illustrations, examples, and
description to clarify the term.
3 ways to define a Definition

Informal Definition

Formal Definition

Extented Definition
 Informal Definition

giving of a parenthetical or brief explanation.

 Informal Definition Example

1.) Tocopherol (Vitamin E) is naturally found in vegetable oil,

fish, and nuts.

2.) A chair is a piece of furniture.

 Formal Definition

giving of the term to be defined, the category, and the

the same category.
 Formal Definition Example

1.) Vitamin E is a light yellow fat-soluble vitamin that acts as

 Extended Definition

is a detailed way of defining a term and is usually a one

paragraph. It incorporates various patterns of formal,
informal, comparison and contrasts, narration, description,
classification, cause and effect to explain a concept.
Extended Definition Example
First described in 1907 by Alos Alzheimer, a German
pgysician, Azheimer’s disease is an adult-onset neurological
disorder of unknown etiology (cause) manifested by loss of
memory, impaired thought processes, and abnormal
behavior. When the illness begins before the age of 65, it is
termed Alzheimer’s disease; when onset is after 65, it is
referred to as senile dementia of the Alzheimer’s type.

1.) Water is a liquid made of molecules of hydrogen and oxygen in ration to 2 to 1.

3.) Astronomy is a branch of scientific study primary concerned with celestial

objects inside and outside of the earth's atmosphere.

4.) Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses that cause diseases in mammals
and birds.
 Explication

– is a method of explanation in which sentences, verses, quotes, or

phrases are taken from a literary or academic work then interpreted
and explained in a detailed way. You may begin by analyzing how the
text was constructed and end with a concise conclusion by restating
your major arguments. Explication not only illuminates a piece of
literature, but also serves to remind the readers about its historical
setting and formal properties of style and language.
Explication Example
The Road Not Taken
(by Robert Frost)

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
 Explication Example

In the final stanza of his poem The Road Not Taken, Frost talks about
his dilemma of coming upon two diverging paths, and not knowing
which one to choose. The third line is very important, as it delivers an
idea of choosing between the two divergent paths.
 Explication Example

- The tone in this stanza shifts from regretful to optimistic.

- The two roads symbolically represent individual choices.
- The mood is neither depressed nor unhappy, but the poet sighs
because he knows what the complexities our life may have for him.
- Whether he has chosen a right or a wrong path, it has a compelling
impact on his life. The phrase “less traveled” suggests the theme of
individualism.
 Clarification

it is a method of explanation in which the points are

organized from a general abstract idea to specific and
concrete examples. The analysis of the concept is done
by looking at the examples and specifying its
characteristics.
 Clarification Example
Justice is a broad concept which encompasses a wide set of ideas, most of which
also branch out into smaller notions. For instance, it can refer to the sentencing of
a criminal based on due process. When an individual gets what he deserves, even
outside the hands of the law, it is also considered justice in some context. This
may come in the form of vigilante justice, in which a person dissatisfied with the
system doles out punishing to wrong-doers. Poetic justice is also another related
concept which is used in literature to show how the good is always rewarded
while bad forces always meet a grim end.
 Clarification Example
In the context of this paper, justice will be clearly delineated into any instance in
which the law is successfully and fairly applied to an individual, resulting in either
an arrest or a release. To illustrate, if a theft is caught and tried in court through
due process, and is found to be guilty and then sentenced accordingly, it can be
said that justice was served. However, if the same thief is caught in the act by a
band of villagers and was beaten right then and there, it will be considered justice
in the context of the paper, as the process has not undergone due process.

 Activity

Anger is having a feeling of hatred toward someone or something. It is one

of our basic emotions and can be most dangerous if it is not carefully
controlled. A person can become angry when he cannot fulfill some basic
needs or desire that is important to him. For example, a child may become
angry when he cannot play outside with his friends. An adult may become
angry when he does not receive a raise in pay that he expected. Mentally,
anger can interfere with our thoughts, making it difficult to think clearly.
Physically, it may cause violent reactions in our muscles and in the nervous
system. This causes an angry person to flush and tremble and to show other
signs of disturbance. A person can be dangerous if he is in an angry mood
because he can develop feelings of hostility and hatred toward another
person, which can then often turn violent.
 Questions:

1. What concept is being explained in the above paragraph?

2. What examples are given to explain the concept?

3. Do these examples reflect realities in life?

4. In what way is the concept of the paragraph being explained?

L2 pedagogy and research have considerably experienced shifts that continue to bring
about new and perennial concerns, the first of which is the divergence between
practitioners and theorizers. This problem resulted in the struggle of teachers in
accommodating and integrating technical knowledge to their own embedded teaching
framework; hence, they employ various methods and approaches which they feel are more
practical and effective based on their own teaching experiences and classroom realities.
Also, teachers employ eclecticism which seemed to be unsystematic, uncritical, and
unprincipled as it reaches classroom level (Kumaravadivelu, 1994) because “it offers no
criteria according to which we can determine which is the best theory, nor does it provide
any principles by which to include or exclude features which form part of existing theories
or practices” (Stern, 1992, p. 11). Another issue directly linked to the divergence between
the theorizers and the practitioners is the lack of models consolidating the recent
theoretical and empirical research findings which will guide the teachers in employing
sound teaching practices (Brandl, 2002).
 G I S D E N N D A M T O D L O Y G O E H

This study will primarily use qualitative research combined with some quantitative measures
(Tashakkori & Teddlie, 2002). Such method will provide the best opportunites for generating
new and creative ideas (Jaccard & Jacoby, 2010). Specifically, the development of the
teaching framework will be anchored in the grounded theory (Glaser, 1922; Glaser &
Strauss, 1967) through analysis of recent literature and studies from the top TESOL and
applied linguistics journal. Consequently, the framework that will be developed will be
validated from both theoretical (researcher-theorizers) and practical perspectives
(practitioners) to ensure utmost applicability and usability.
