222200831. Writing a scientific article is important for English education students because it trains us to think critically, organize ideas systematically, and use academic English properly. Through journal writing, we also learn how to support our arguments with valid data and credible sources, which is very useful for future research or thesis writing. To find the journals, I used ‘Google Scholar and ResearchGate’, which provide many open-access articles related to English education.
2. I analyzed two journal articles on the same topic: one quantitative and one qualitative study about students’ motivation in learning English. The quantitative article used the IMRAD structure (Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion) with clear statistical data and charts. The qualitative article, on the other hand, had a more narrative structure and focused on descriptions, interviews, and thematic analysis. Both had similar sections like the abstract and references, but they differed in terms of data presentation and writing style—the quantitative one was more objective and concise, while the qualitative one was more descriptive and interpretive.
3. The part I find most difficult to understand is the methodology section, especially in quantitative studies. It often includes complex statistical terms, formulas, and data analysis techniques that require more background knowledge. Sometimes, the explanation of sampling or instrument validation is also quite technical.
4. Reading journal articles helps me improve my academic writing because I can learn the correct structure, academic vocabulary, and citation style. It also helps me see how professional researchers build arguments logically and cohesively. By analyzing how they write introductions, present findings, and discuss implications, I can apply similar techniques to improve my own research papers and assignments.

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.
