                  1. From the interview with Ms. Gartika and the guidelines of Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics (IJAL) and Cakrawala Pendidikan, there are many points that go hand in hand. Ms. Gartika explained that before starting to write, a researcher needs to find a research gap by reading a lot of previous studies through platforms like Google Scholar, Elicit, or ResearchRabbit. This step matches what both journals expect in their guidelines, every author should clearly explain the novelty, purpose, and gap of their research in the introduction.
                  The difference is that Ms. Gartika shared this from her experience as a writer who actually goes through the process, while the journal guidelines present it as a more formal requirement that must be followed for publication.

                  2. According to Ms. Gartika, a good article should follow the IMRaD structure (Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion). She also mentioned that it’s better to make the introduction straight to the point, focusing on specific variables instead of explaining something too general. This is consistent with how articles in IJAL and Cakrawala Pendidikan are organized, both use the IMRaD format and focus on clarity and logical flow in each section.
                  The difference lies in the tone. Ms. Gartika’s way of explaining sounds more flexible and focused on how to make writing interesting, while the sample journal articles follow a more formal, standardized academic style.

                  3. Yes, there are. Ms. Gartika mentioned several challenges writers often face, such as writer’s block, difficulties with paraphrasing, and creating or validating research instruments. To deal with these, she sometimes uses tools like Grammarly, QuillBot, or ChatGPT, but only for checking ideas or grammar, not for copying. Both IJAL and Cakrawala Pendidikan talk about similar concerns, especially in their ethical writing sections. They both require originality, a low plagiarism percentage (under 15–20%), and honesty in research reporting. So, what Ms. Gartika described in practice is directly related to the ethical standards found in the journal guidelines.

                  4. There are several patterns that can be seen from both the interview and the guidelines.
                  Similarities: All of them highlight the importance of novelty, structure, clarity, and ethics in academic writing. Both journals follow APA citation style and require strong organization, while Ms. Gartika also stressed that the writing should have depth and flow smoothly.
                  Differences: Ms. Gartika focused more on the real experiences of writing, like finding ideas, staying motivated, and dealing with writing problems, while the journal guidelines focus more on formal rules such as formatting, references, and structure.
                  Patterns of good writing: From both sides, it’s clear that a high-quality article is one that is original, relevant, well-structured, and written clearly while also following academic conventions.

                  Conclusion

                  To sum up, both Ms. Gartika’s insights and the two journal guidelines share the same goal, helping writers produce strong, original, and well-organized research articles. The interview gives a realistic view of the writing journey from an author’s perspective, while the journal guidelines show what editors and reviewers expect in published papers. When combined, both perspectives help students understand that successful academic writing requires not only creative ideas and novelty but also discipline in following academic and ethical standards.

                    1. Writing a scientific article is important because it helps English education students think critically, organize ideas, and write academically. It also prepares us for future research or teaching careers. I usually use Google Scholar and sometimes ResearchGate to find journal articles.

                    3. For me, the most difficult part is the methodology section. It often includes research designs, data analysis, and statistical terms that are hard to follow. Sometimes I need to reread that part several times to really understand what the researchers did and why they chose certain methods.
                    4. Reading journal articles helps me understand how to write in a more academic and organized way. I can learn how authors develop their ideas, connect paragraphs, and support their statements with evidence. It also helps me improve my vocabulary and get used to formal expressions. The more I read, the more I understand how good academic writing should look.

                      2. Actually, it’s not really memorable, it just quite interesting cause the topic in line with mine.
