Menulis artikel dalam bahasa Inggris tidaklah berbeda dg menulis op-ed dalam bahasa Indonesia. Tentu saja syarat dasar yakni kemampuan berbahasa Inggris harus dikuasai. Namun demikian, seberapa batas “mampu” dan “belum mampu” itu sangatlah relatif. Orang yg berkepribadian pesimis cenderung understimate (merendahkan) kemampuan diri, sementara yg sangat optimis cenderung overestimate (meninggikan kemampuan diri di atas fakta).

Untuk itu, salah satu tes kemampuan bahasa Inggris Anda adalah dengan mengirim tulisan artikel op-ed ke media massa koran berbahasa Inggris (lihat daftar email media berbahasa Inggris di dalam negeri dan luar negeri di bagian bawah tulisan ini).
Aturan teknis pengiriman artikel op-ed pada dasarnya tidak berbeda dg versi bahasa Indonesia kecuali satu: jangan mengirim tulisan bahasa Inggris dalam bentuk attachement, terutama ini berlaku bagi media luar negeri. Jadi, artikel cukup di tulis di bagian email. Berikut daftar email media massa (koran) berbahasa Inggris di Indonesia atau luar negeri:Indonesia
