The Result of Interview with Miss Setya
In general, the interview highlights the importance of maintaining a clear flow of ideas and a well-organized structure in scientific writing. Both the editor and the respondents agreed that the main challenges in writing academic articles lie in developing ideas, using correct grammar, and choosing appropriate vocabulary. Moreover, effective scientific writing should be able to answer research questions, use relevant and sufficient data, and be easily understood by readers.
From the interview, several effective writing strategies were identified, such as the importance of creating an outline or mind map before writing, using natural and coherent academic language, and ensuring that the data presented truly support the research objectives.
Overall, the characteristics of high-quality scientific writing include logical and coherent organization of ideas, a structure that follows the journal’s template, accurate and precise academic language, and content that is supported by sufficient data and clearly communicated to the readers.The Result of Interview with Miss Setya

1. From an editor’s perspective, at which stage do writers most often make mistakes that lead to rejection?
2. Are there any specific steps in the writing process that novice writers tend to overlook, but are actually essential for publication readiness?
3. What are the key indicators you use to evaluate whether an article is of publishable quality?
4. In your view, what distinguishes a ‘good enough’ article from a truly ‘high-quality’ submission in a reputable journal?
5. What are the most common weaknesses you see in articles that end up being rejected?
6. What are the most frequent structural problems that students or novice authors face when writing articles in English Language Education?
7. In your opinion, what types of support or training are most effective in helping students produce publishable academic articles?
8. Are there any tools or platforms (e.g., writing software, citation tools, style guides) that you would recommend to improve the quality of academic writing?
9. In research articles related to English Language Education, which section tends to be the most critical for reviewers when deciding whether to accept or reject a submission (e.g., abstract, methodology, discussion)?
10. Do you notice any key structural or content differences between articles submitted to national vs. international journals in the field of English Language Education?1. reading a journal article happened during my Academic Writing class. I read an article titled “The Effectiveness of Quizlet Application towards Students’ Motivation in Learning Vocabulary.” Even though I had never used Quizlet before, the topic caught my attention because it was related to vocabulary learning and student motivation—something I could still relate to as a language learner.
2. Despite the challenges, the article gave me new insight into how digital tools can be used in education, and I realized that academic reading is not just about understanding the topic, but also about learning how research is structured and presented.Elmaida_22220068
1. I think it’s important because it helps us learn how to write formally, think critically, and understand how to support our ideas with evidence. As future teachers, we also need to know how to explain ideas clearly and professionally.
2. I used Google Scholar because it’s easy to use and I can find many journal articles there.
3. I read two articles about using apps for learning vocabulary—one about Quizlet, and the other about Kahoot. Both had similar structure: abstract, intro, method, results, and conclusion. But the language was a bit different. The Quizlet article was harder to understand, while the Kahoot one was easier and had more pictures and graphs.
4. The methodology part is the hardest for me because it has a lot of research terms and numbers that I don’t fully understand yet.
5. It helps me learn how to write in a formal way, how to organize my ideas, and how to use sources correctly. I also learn new vocabulary and how to write more clearly.1.reading a journal article was when I read an article titled “The Effectiveness of Quizlet Application towards Students’ Motivation in Learning Vocabulary.” Even though I had never used Quizlet before, the topic interested me because it was related to language learning and student motivation.
2. At first, I felt a bit unsure because I had never used Quizlet personally, so I didn’t have any direct experience to relate to. However, as I continued reading, I became curious about how this app works and why it seems to help many students learn vocabulary more effectively.
