Comments on the course

On the course, I could understand 2 things.
First, I could understand new words for academic writing. I had not been concerned which words I should use, but I understand I have to choose appropriate words.
Second, I could understand how to study English more. Until now, I had studied English to read English books or joining English classes. However, I thought I should read academic writings such as  papers.To read good sentences, we can improve English skills.
I appreciate you to teach how to write academic writing. I’ll study English more, and I want to use English welll.

The paradigm of Language Socialization draws upon the theoretical and analytical concepts used in linguistic anthropology, poststructuralist approaches to the study of discourse and practice, and the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl.
言語の社会化の実例は、言語人類学において使われる理論的または分析的な概念を利用し、ポスト構造主義者は論文と実験の研究や、Edmund Husserlの現象学に接近している。

This blending of different philosophical positions leaves Language Socialization with an incoherent concept of subjectivity.
異なる哲学の混合は、つじつまの合わない主観性概念とともに言語の社会化のレベルに置く。

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate, first, how a coherent concept may be reached.
この記事の目的は、まず、どのように理路整然としてわかりやすい概念を提示するかということである。

The article argues for a phenomenological approach to the concept of habitus that brings the intentionality of consciousness back into focus as the true object of socialization processes.
この記事は、意識の意図を社会的プロセスの事実に焦点を戻すことによってもたらされる習慣行動の概念現象学的アプローチについて議論する。

Second, the article demonstrates how an integrational approach to language, invested in the first-person perspective, can further an understanding of socialization as a dynamics of interactional and intentional pattern formation in children's development.
次に、この記事はどのようにintegrationalを言語に接近させるか、初対面の人との近づき方、子供の発達における相互作用的で意図的な形式の原動力のような社会主義化の理解ができることを明示する。

The study showed that local police can play an important role in crime prevention. It makes a strong case for boosting the numbers of community police officers although it warns against increasing police presence on the streets to an alarming degree. Its methodology was based on a range of interviews asking members of the public for their views on how best to prevent crime. Unfortunately, how to implement this recommendation was beyond the scope of the study but at least serves a useful purpose in raising awareness of the issue.
