    Move 1: Introduce the Field
    The beginning (pages 59-60) convince the reader that the topic is important.
    Step:
    Claim the urgency—say that critical thinking and critical writing are essential for English students to succeed academically, in the workplace, and to combat misinformation. Overview—explain that critical writing involves building strong arguments using evidence, being clear and coherent. Summarize previous studies, such as Yundayani (2017) on the lack of argumentative skills, Selvaraj (2019) on ESL challenges, and Yamin (2023) on the curriculum gap.

    Move 2: Point Out the Gap
    The paragraph “Despite the above-mentioned studies” (page 60)—state what is missing.
    Step:
    Indicate the gap—previous studies have not addressed the specific needs of critical writing in Indonesian EFL. Connect the niche—surveys of student needs are needed for appropriate instruction, addressing difficulties with complex texts, and creating inclusive classrooms.

    Move 3: Fill the Gap
    Final paragraph—announce this research.
    Step: The purpose of this survey is to gather student insights into critical writing instruction in higher education. The benefits are to inform policy, resource allocation, and improve education so students are prepared for the real world.

    1. I have studied it
    2. a. Highly aligned in terms of standardization. While the interview results emphasized “accuracy,” the guidelines in the material provided specific technical rules, such as 2.54 cm margins and a 5,000–7,000 word limit. b. The sample article reflects the credibility standards frequently mentioned during the interview. This is evidenced by the mandatory rule: at least 80% of the references must be from reputable journals within the last 5 years. c. Challenges & Strategies The challenges faced by writers who often struggle with structuring (as seen in the interviews) are addressed by the material with the strategy of using the Journal Template and Submission Checklist to make writing more systematic and focused.
    3. The similarities are that all quality manuscripts must be objective, evidence-based, and must follow the IMRaD standard structure (Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion). The differences are that good writing is seen from proportionality. The Findings & Discussion section must be dominant (40-60%), while the Introduction is sufficient at 15-20%. The pattern is that a minimum of 80% of references come from reputable journals in the last 5 years, consistent in format (font, margins, spacing) and comply with the word limit (5,000–7,000 words), the content of the writing must be completely aligned with the guidelines and templates provided by the journal.

    1. The writing process, as the author stated at the time, involved writing with confidence and going through a review process. Submissions were made on SINTA website. The general pattern was that the author explained how to create a compelling title by frequently reading on google scholar.
    2. The general pattern for high-quality scientific articles is that when checked by turnitin, the paper’s score does not exceed 20%. The challenge is when the author is rejected by reviewers due to high levels of plagiarism.
    3. The resources include searching for references on google scholar, supported by reviewers who check whether the scientific article is suitable for publication. Afterward, it is returned to the editor, who will process the publication. The structural components are title, abstract, keywords, introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusion, and bibliography.

    1. It talks about why academic writing is important for university students. While reading it, I felt a bit interested but also confused because some parts were quite difficult to understand.
    2. I think the experience was challenging because of the language and the structure. The article used a lot of formal and academic words, and some sentences were quite long, so it was not easy to understand quickly. The explanation about the learning models also made it a bit harder to follow.
    3. I usually find the methodology part the most difficult because it explains the research process in detail. It often uses technical terms and specific procedures that are not easy to understand, especially if I’m not familiar with the research methods. Sometimes, it also feels too detailed, so it’s hard to follow what the researcher actually did.
    4. The sequence of words in journal articles makes me aware of my mistakes when writing in English, but sometimes I still make mistakes with the grammar.
    5. Perhaps the general challenge is the formal language used in the articles, and when reading the methodology have to focus on understanding it.
