1. The topic of the journal that I read is about the struggles of teachers in teaching English vocabularies for young learner. I read it about two to three weeks ago, through Google Scholar. It was a brief journal as well so I feel motivated to make my own one.
2. Forming the language is personally challenging for me since formal and academic is something I am not familiar with.
3. It is mostly the reference part, in my experience. Reference part is the most complicated because besides I have to choose the references, I must credit them properly, while in another hand, I also have to be able to prove its authenticity and validity as well.

A few weeks ago, I read a journal titled “Classroom Interaction in Communicative Language Teaching in Secondary Schools,” which discusses how teachers and students interact during English lessons. This experience was incredibly beneficial as it highlighted the gap between theory and the reality of the classroom.
2. The part I found most interesting was that students often hesitate to speak due to a lack of confidence and the fear of making mistakes. The main challenge lies in the complex factors that hinder effective communication within the classroom environment.

The topic was particularly challenging because it was highly relevant and reflected actual conditions in the field, and it covered many complex yet understandable aspects.
2. The most memorable and challenging is the structure and the language Because the structure and language of this article lean more toward an academic style, and in terms of structure, there are still many aspects I don’t fully understand
3. The most difficult to understand is find some reference for the article Because when looking for references, sometimes the references we find align with the topic we want to discuss, and other times they contradict it

I read an article about students’ difficulties in learning English vocabulary at the eighth grade level. I read it recently for my assignment, and I accessed it from an online journal. The article focuses on the problems students face when learning vocabulary, such as understanding meanings and remembering new words. While reading it, I felt interested because the topic is very close to real classroom situations. It also made me reflect on how important vocabulary is in learning English.
2. What made this experience memorable is the topic itself, because it reflects real problems faced by students in Indonesia. I found it interesting that many students struggle with vocabulary due to limited exposure to English. It also made me realize that vocabulary is not just about memorizing words, but also understanding how to use them. The challenging part was understanding the different factors that influence students’ difficulties. I had to think carefully to connect the problems with the causes explained in the article.
3. I usually find the methodology section the most difficult. This is because it explains how the research was conducted in a very detailed way. Sometimes I feel confused about why certain methods are used and how they help answer the research questions. It also includes specific steps that are not always easy to follow. Because of that, I need more time to understand this part.

Overall, it helps me write more clearly and thoughtfully.

To be honest, I felt kind of overwhelmed at first because it was my first time reading a full academic paper in English. It was quite challenging to follow, but as I kept reading, I realized that the article offered many new insights that were very important for me to learn.
2. For me, the topic was challenging because I want to figure it out if PBL is still relevant with Kurikulum Merdeka. I’m curious if this learning model actually works or not in our current schools.
3. I found the methodology and discussion parts the most difficult to understand. It was challenging because those sections forced me to think harder to understand the process. Also, there were many technical terms that made it hard to follow the writer’s logic.
