Contribution Type	Co-authored (first author)
Journal Type	Japan
Author and coauthor	Makiko Kishi / Rama Jamal Aldin
Details	This paper considers the difficulties experienced by foreign children enrolled in the Japanese school education system and how their problems can be solved according to the personal experience of the second co-author, Rama Jamal Aldin (X). It explains how the issues faced by X were related not merely to X’s own lack of Japanese language proficiency or understanding of Japanese customs, but also to various aspects of the socio-material environment. This paper adopts, through a process of mutual dialogue-based analysis, the perspectives of actor-network theory to examine the difficulties encountered by X, X’s own awareness of those difficulties at the time, and their relationship to socio-material factors.
