Move 1: Establishing a Territory

Step 1A (Claiming Centrality)
Critical writing is important in English learning because it helps students improve their thinking and writing skills for academic purposes.

Step 1B (Topic Generalization)
Critical writing is the ability to express ideas clearly, give arguments, and support opinions with evidence in written form.

Move 2: Establishing a Niche

Step 1A (Indicating a Gap)
The article explains that previous studies still did not fully discuss students’ needs in learning critical writing.

Step 1B (Justifying the Gap)
Therefore, the researcher conducted this study to understand students’ learning needs and improve critical writing courses.

Move 3: Occupying the Niche

Step 1 (Outlining Purposes)
The purpose of the study is to analyze students’ needs in learning critical writing.

Step 2 (Announcing Present Research)
The researchers used a survey method and collected data using questionnaires from students.

1. I’ve studied it.

2. a) In general, the interview findings are consistent with the journal guidelines. Both emphasize the importance of having a well-organized structure, following journal requirements, and maintaining focus on the research topic. They also emphasize the need for clear writing and avoiding plagiarism.
The difference is that the interview findings describe more real-life experiences and difficulties, while the journal guidelines primarily focus on formal rules, such as formatting, structure, and referencing style.

b) The sample articles demonstrate how the guidelines are applied in practice. The articles present a structured introduction, clearly explain the research problem, and use appropriate methods such as qualitative design, questionnaires, and interviews.
However, based on the interviews, many authors still struggle to meet these standards. Some common problems include incorrect formatting, unclear introductions, and a lack of focus in the discussion. This suggests that published articles represent the expected standard, but achieving it is not always easy.

c) The interviews highlighted several challenges, such as lengthy review processes, rejections, and writer’s block. These issues are not directly addressed in the journal guidelines, but they do provide indirect solutions by providing clear instructions for each section.
For example, they guide authors on how to present results and discuss findings effectively. To overcome difficulties, authors can employ strategies such as consistency, careful adherence to guidelines, and the use of reliable sources like Google Scholar.

3. Both the interviews and journal materials demonstrate similar characteristics of a good scientific article. A high-quality article should include a clear structure, proper formatting, minimal plagiarism, a strong introduction, a concise abstract, and a well-focused discussion.
Overall, it can be concluded that writing a good scientific article requires not only an understanding of structure and content, but also consistency, persistence, and the ability to overcome challenges throughout the writing and publication process.

1. Writing a scientific article begins with identifying research gaps and supporting them with relevant references. Authors need to read numerous journals to understand writing standards, then determine the title, methods, and focus of the research.
The submission process includes editorial review, peer review, revision, and publication, and is usually lengthy and involves multiple revisions.
Common pattern: the process is systematic and requires continuous revision.

2. A good scientific article has a clear research gap, strong references, a detailed methodology, and a systematic structure. Its main strength lies in its content.
Common challenges include the risk of plagiarism, difficulty identifying research gaps, inconsistencies in writing, lack of methodological detail, language barriers, and low self-confidence.
Common pattern: most authors struggle with language, research gaps, and revisions.

3. Authors use tools like Google Scholar for references and Google Translate for language support. Reading journals is also important.
Scientific articles should address research gaps, references, methodology, a clear structure, and appropriate citations. Editors and reviewers help improve articles through feedback.
General pattern: resources, guidelines, and feedback are essential in writing.

Move 1: Establishing the Territory
– Step 1 (Claiming Centrality & Generalization): Paragraphs 1–3
This opening paragraph discusses the general idea of ​​the importance of critical thinking in the modern information age. The author explains that critical thinking is no longer an option but a necessity, especially in higher education. This is then connected to critical writing as a way for students to publish and develop their analytical thinking skills. The goal is to demonstrate that this topic is important and relevant in today’s educational context.

– Step 2 (Reviewing Previous Research): Paragraphs 4–5
The author introduces findings from previous studies (such as Yundayani et al., 2017) that show that critical writing helps students process, transmit, and filter information effectively. These studies provide supporting evidence and theoretical background, demonstrating that this topic has been explored and is academically significant.

Move 2: Establishing the Niche
– Step 1A (Showing the Gap): Paragraph 6
The author points out that although much research has addressed critical writing in general, there is still a lack of research specifically focusing on students in an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) context. This indicates a gap in the existing literature and highlights the need for further investigation in this specific area.

Move 3: Filling the Niche
– Step 1 (Stating the Purpose): Paragraph 7
The author clearly states that the purpose of this study is to explore students’ needs in learning critical writing in an EFL context. This helps the reader understand the main focus of the study.

– Step 2 (Showing the Method): Paragraph 7
The author briefly explains that this study used a survey research method to collect data from students. This provides an overview of how the study was conducted.

– Step 3 (State the Value/Significance): Paragraph 7
The author explains that the results of this study are expected to contribute to improving teaching strategies and curriculum design, particularly in developing students’ critical writing skills. This demonstrates the practical value and contribution of the research.

1. The process of writing a scientific article begins with topic selection, literature review, data collection and analysis, draft writing, revision, and journal submission and review.
The same pattern as other groups is that the process is gradual and requires revision

2. A quality article has a clear purpose, coherent structure, relevant references, and good academic language.
Common challenges include topic selection, time constraints, English language barriers, and reviewer revisions.
The general pattern: structure is important, and revisions and language are the main obstacles.

3. Writing an article requires access to references, guidance from lecturers, writing aids, and an understanding of structure (IMRAD).
The same pattern applies: support and an understanding of structure are crucial.
