REFLECTION

Exploring the process of choosing subjects for writing news in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) has involved a detailed examination of finding a balance between linguistic complexity and captivating content. It is crucial to grasp the specific needs and language proficiency levels of English learners when creating articles that both cater to their understanding and promote their language development. Emphasizing culturally relevant and relatable topics has emerged as significant, prompting me to take into account the diverse backgrounds and interests of EFL readers. Navigating this aspect of news writing has not only expanded my understanding of audience-centered journalism but has also heightened my awareness of language subtleties, ensuring that chosen topics effectively resonate with the EFL readership.
