What you think quantitative translation research is ?

In my opinion, the quantitative translation research is a research generates numerical data that can be converted in to numbers.

Coherence 5 and 6

I have to say that I don't quite understand the whole articles, but I know that the author gave some principles as follow:

The author of the articles-Williams offers some principle that will help writers realize when your readers might think that your writing is incoherent.

Principle 1: Readers will feel that a paragraph is cohesive if it has consistent topic strings. (p.82)
Principle 2: A reader will feel that a paragraph is cohesive if it has other strings of related words. (p.83)
Principle 3: A reader will feel that a paragraph is cohesive if he is introduced to new topic at the end of the sentence. (p.87)
Princeple 4: A reader will feel that a paragraph is coherence if they can read a sentence thtat organize its point. (p.97)
Principle 5: A reader will feel that a paragraph is coherent if they find the point sentence at the end of its issue or at the end of the paragraph. (p.99)

Cohesion

After I read the text about cohesion, I realize that cohesion is important part which make clearer and smooth sentences. Clearer sentences have to flowing, connected and cohesive. There are many factors that make it so such as managing the flow of information, begining the sentence with topic. Also, using transitional to connect the sentence and using expressions to help readers know what follow. I'm interesting in the way to determine how well manage topic that is underlining the first five or six words of every sentence. Then read the words we underline straight through. They should be clearly set of topics and refer to ideas that mentioned in the previous sentence. If not, it should be considered to revise. I think I'll try it in the next assignment.

Cohesion

After reading Williams's excerpt, it can be concluded that the principles of style for writing are as follow:

- The writer should use the direct active voice

- The writer should "put the ideas that you have already mentioned, referred to, or implied, or concepts that you can reasonably assume your reader is already familair with, and will readily recognize" (p. 48)

- Moreover, the writer shoud "put the newest, the most surprising, the most significant information: information that you want to stress-perhaps the information that you will expand on in your next sentence" (p.48) It's like that teacher always try to connect something we already know to whatever new we're trying to learn.

- The writing shoud begin with topics because they are very important in the ways reader read. The topic of a sentence is called "psychological subject." It can be a few words of a sentence, a noun phrase.

- The topic is ideas of the beginning of each clause define a passage is centrally for a reader.

To manage subjects and topics for flow writing is switching the subject and complement.

Lastly, the process of summing up is the use of the beginning of your sentences to refer to what have been already mentioned or choose topics that will control your reader's point of view and organize your sentence is important too.

Peer review process is one of the methods the teacher applies to use in the writing class for the purpose of encouraging the students to take out their theorical abilities of language usage; read, write, speak, think and their practical ability in gathering all contents to be composed into their writings.

Peer review discussing in the class leads all students hear what they are thinking and what the others' thoughts. The teacher will help them find the answers of those questions and at the same time, help correcting the mistakes found in their writings. After all peer review process is completely applied, the students will gain the new power that is enable them to make a good writing.

The Peer Review Process

The process has five skills in writing, reading, speaking, listening and thinking because the students read their peers's writing to write a response and exchange the comments like meeting.

The students gain benefits from peer interaction to write better and it's a good chance of writing with my friends' opinions. So, I'll try to summarize the qualitative research for my friends tomorrow.

The Peer Review Process

This article is about how to help students write a good writing by using the peer review. The advantage of peer review for writer students are they gain a clearer understanding of meeting the reader's needs and gain confidence in their own abilities. The benefit for teachers is time saved because of a decreased reading load.

Now, I understand why we have to make a copy of our research writing for friends. It is because we're going to do a peer review. Am I right ? :p

ps. I leave this for all my friends

Good morning my friend
It's a new day
I hope things get better
For this I did pray

May all of your problems
Be out on their way
On this bright morning
That starts this new day

What you think qualitative translation research is ?

The qualitative research is a way to research different fields. The qualitative translation research is the systematic investigation in any kind of translation e.g. The Translation of Idioms from English Screenplays to Thai.

The objective of quanlitative research is to develop and use mathematical models, theories to do a research.

Teaching the other Self: The writer's first reader

I can discover from this journal that a piece of complete text composes of the activities of the self and the other self.

The self functions writing ability in which a writer's information and idea is gathered and the other self help supporting those gathering information as a readable, understandable and reasonable text.

The writer, as a beginner, usually do the self. The teacher will help to retrieve the other self by making comments, forming questions relating to the self. All answers and explanations replied to those comments and questions will be the other self that fulfills the self and makes the self to be a good and readable text.

Teaching the Other Self: The Writer's First Reader

I have to say that this article was hard to read, the letters in this article was very small and some parts are hilighted. Correct me if I'm wrong, my understanding about this article is "The self writers, the other self reads - Writers write for themselves and not for their readers." It's kind of the self is to write a completed thought, and the other self is to do everything to make the writing readable. Murray also said that "the responsive teacher can help the other self students by listen to the student first, then to to text.

It is unbelievable that one piece of writing must be accomplished through the process of recursiveness--backward moving action.

After reading through the journal of Sondra Perl, I definitely agree with her because I really do the process of recursiveness in my writing unawarely. I reread what I have written, use some hinge word relating to the topic and making felt-sense behavior.

When I complete my writing, I only know that my work is done. I don't know that it is finished because I pass through the process of felt-sense behavior. I have just known that the activities of reducing complex of thought, writing understandable sentenses, creating relevant ideas and avoiding repetitive writing forms are doing "felt sense."

Understanding Composing

In my opinion, I think recursive is one of useful approach when writers stuck in an idea. We may get the idea for the next sentence after we reread the previous sentence and perhaps we may edit sentence to get the way to go on. Somtimes we may return to the topic and change it ot suitable for what we have written ,in the other hands, we may change what we have written. Recurring can occurs every phrases, sentences or paragraphs depends on writers. How about the word "felt sense"? I know that the word means "a kind of bodily awareness that encompasses everything you feel and know about a given subject at a given time" (p.101) I would like you to more describe about it in our class.

Understanding Composing

Sandra Perl said that writing is a recursive process (p.100). When I compose a writing, some parts appeared to be recursive, such as when I am stuck; I use the topic or a key word in it as a way to get going. Sometimes I felt sense appear to me, "When writers pause, whey they go back and repeat key words, what they seem to be doing is waiting, paying attention to what is still vague and unclear. They are looking to their felt experience, and waiting for an image, a word, or a phrase to emerge that captures the sense they embody." (p.101) That could best describe when I feel felt sense.

If the writers don't have a Projective Structuring, what would it be?

gramar mistake

I think I have to disagree with your idea on not checking our gramar mistake in the paper. If you don't correct it then who's gonna do? We will think that our writing are correct. The mistakes will stay with us forever. It's a good idea to make us feel comfortable and worry free about gramar while writing but not showing us the correct English is not good. Correcting the wrongs and showing the rights is one of the best ways in learning English to me. It will be easy to stick in my head. Then I can tell right from wrong. Just like "Oh I have written like that before but Teacher told me it was not correct. I'll chang it." Well, If you want to make us worry free on gramar then you can say that you are not going to remark at the gramar mistake. It is more than enough. I guess students only care about the marks.

It is only my idea. You don't have to do it if you or the rest of the students in the class do not like it. I'm fine with anything.

Writer's Block

This lesson defines the different ideas of the blocked — strict to the writing rules and planning strategies whereas the non-blocked — apply the writing rules to the work but in flexible, openly and functionally ways. From the description, I am rather be in the blocked group.

This lesson also guides the blocked solving methods of Rules and Plans — heuristics and TOTE. I think I can follow the method of approaching the problems with flexible idea of writing (heuristics) and I agree with the idea of Robert M Gagne that the readers do confuse if the writing is finished without rules and rules can easily be learned directly or through experience (TOTE).

I appreciate the idea of the non-blocked that they dare to reject rules if they conflict with their work. Anyway, I cannot follow this idea because I believe the writing generates from a problem-solving process.
