1. The topic is The Use Of Total Physical Response Method To Teach Students
Motivation For Junior High School, i read that articles last week, and i access the articles from google schoolar. From that article i got the information about my interest in the TPR method. I feel so enjoyed while i’m reading the text, because the author writing concisely and clearly, and the method used is qualitative so it gives me an inspiration for my article.
2. In my opinion, the article has a clear structure but seems a little less formal and there are several typos that make the reader have to focus more to read it. Why is it memorable because this article is the shortest article I have ever read. -

Last week, I read an article titled “The Effect of Using Quizizz to EFL Students’ Engagement and Learning Outcome” from Google Scholar. I chose it because it clearly explains how Quizizz influences students’ engagement and learning outcomes in EFL classrooms. The challenging aspect of this study is that Quizizz improved students’ learning outcomes—psychomotor, cognitive, and affective, but did not significantly enhance their engagement. This means teachers still face difficulties in keeping students motivated and actively involved when using game-based learning platforms like Quizizz.

1. My experience reading the article “Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK): Exploring Saudi EFL Teachers’ Views to Improve Students’ Vocabulary Learning” was interesting. It discusses how English teachers in Saudi Arabia apply the TPACK model to improve students’ vocabulary. I read it last night after downloading it from Google Scholar. I found the topic relevant to English education and helpful in showing how technology supports teaching and learning. However, the article was quite long and used many academic terms like mixed-methods and reliability, which made it a bit challenging to understand.
2. This reading experience was memorable because it helped me realize the importance of integrating technology in learning, especially to improve vocabulary. The main challenge was the academic language and the dense structure of the article. -

222200831. One of my most memorable experiences in reading a journal article was when I read “The Effect of the Four-Square Writing Method on 7th-Grade Students’ Informative Text Writing Skills.” I read it last month while preparing my research proposal about writing evaluation. I accessed it through DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) using my laptop. At first, I felt curious and motivated because the topic was closely related to my study, but I also felt a bit overwhelmed by the academic terms and statistical explanations.
2. This experience was memorable because it helped me understand how researchers use pre-test and post-test designs to measure students’ writing improvement. However, it was also challenging because of the complex structure and formal academic language. The methodology and data analysis sections were especially hard to follow at first, but rereading them helped me learn a lot about how real research works.

It became memorable because it helped me understand how digital literacy and motivation affect our learning results.
2. What made it memorable was how the article clearly connected digital literacy and motivation to students’ performance, which felt very relatable. The most challenging part was understanding the academic language and data interpretation since it used many formal and technical terms. -

1. One of my most memorable experiences in reading a journal article was when I read about the use of Augmented Reality in Teaching Writing of Descriptive Text in English language learning. I read it around May last year through Google Scholar. At first, I felt quite challenged because the language was very academic and there were many unfamiliar technical terms.
2. What made this experience memorable was the article’s clear structure—from the background and methodology to the findings. Yet, the discussion part was quite difficult because it contained deep analyses and many theoretical references. From this experience, I realized that the common challenges students face when reading journal articles are the complex academic language, the need for broad theoretical understanding, and maintaining focus while reading long texts.

1.I recently read an article entitled “The Correlation Between Students’ Vocabulary Mastery and Their Reading Comprehension Ability” last month. I accessed it through Google Scholar and downloaded the full text from an academic journal website. The article discussed how students’ vocabulary knowledge influences their ability to understand reading passages.
While reading it, I felt both interested and challenged. The topic was relevant to my studies in English education, and it helped me understand the strong connection between vocabulary size and reading comprehension. However, some parts were a bit difficult to follow because of the academic language and statistical explanations used in the methodology section.

The article discussed how technology supports teaching and learning, especially through digital platforms, interactive tools, and online resources. While reading it, I felt very interested and inspired because it showed how technology can make learning more effective and engaging. It also made me realize how important it is for teachers and students to adapt to new technological advancements in education.
2. The experience was memorable because the topic about technology in education is very relevant to my own learning experience. I could easily relate to how digital tools are changing the way we study and teach. However, it was also a bit challenging because the article used many academic terms and complex sentence structures. Understanding the author’s arguments and connecting them with real-life examples required careful reading and critical thinking. Despite the difficulty, it helped me improve my comprehension and vocabulary in academic writing.

(Rida Rahadathul Aisya Ardani
22220060)1. From my point of view, writing scientific articles is crucial for English language learners because it forms the foundation of their academic and professional development. This process trains students in critical thinking and research from problem formulation and literature review to data analysis essential skills for further study and careers.
2. I usually use Google Scholar to search for and read journal articles. I found two journals with the same theme: “APPLYING DIGITAL STORYTELLING TO IMPROVE INDONESIAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ VISUAL MEMORY AND WRITING SKILLS” and “The use of digital storytelling to improve students’ writing skills.” Both articles use the IMRaD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) structure, which is the standard format for scientific research articles. The difference between the two articles lies in the research subject.
3. The most difficult sections of journal articles for me to understand are usually the Methodology and Discussion. This difficulty arises because these two sections often present information in great detail and use dense technical language.
4. Reading journal articles helped improve my academic writing skills because journals served as role models. I learned firsthand how experts logically structure arguments (IMRaD), from introduction to conclusion. Furthermore, I was exposed to a formal and precise style of writing, which taught me how to use technical terminology correctly and master proper citation and referencing skills, which are the gold standard in scientific writing.

222200891. It moves students from being consumers of knowledge to producers of knowledge. They learn the conventions, structure, and formal tone of academic discourse, which is a powerful form of communication in its own right. The process forces them to formulate a clear research question, find and synthesize existing literature, and construct a logical, evidence-based argument. In my research process, I primarily rely on Google Scholar

3. The Methodology section is often the most challenging for me, particularly in quantitative studies. It is filled with field-specific and statistical terminology , The descriptions of experimental designs, data collection instruments, and statistical analyses require a certain level of technical knowledge to evaluate the validity and reliability of the study.
4. I see how other researchers integrate sources, paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting to support their claims and engage in a scholarly conversation. This teach me how to use evidence effectively. -
