B. Suggestion
Based on the conclusion above, the researcher put some suggestion as
follows:
1. For Teacher
The teacher should give the students more space to pay attention the
material in the class with some considerations. Firstly, identify the character of
students whether they are shy or confident enough. Secondly, the teacher should
give more material which deals with the students’ knowledge background. It aims
to engage students’ understanding in learning. The teacher could assign the
students to explore more resource of English in internet.
2. For Students
Students should be aware that writing skills are skills that are not easy to
master besides there must also be special mastery for vocabulary and grammar
specifically so as to produce quality writing. One way that can be forged is by
increasing the practice both in the learning process and at home.
The students are supposed to maximize the technology to make all
simpler. They have the handphone, so they can use it to serve the material such as
how to write a good descriptive text.
3. For Researcher
For the future to prospective researchers who want to do research on
effective learning methods to improve writing skills, can make this research as a
reference. in addition, researchers also hope that prospective researchers can
produce better work in the future.
