A. Conclusion
Having implemented documentary film as the media to engaging the students’
argumentative writing proficiency, the researcher would like to present three
conclusions as follows:
1. Using documentary film as the media can improve the students’
argumentative writing proficiency. The improvement of students’ argumentative
writing can be identified from the improvement of the students’ argumentative
writing proficiency through documentary film based on the mean score of the data
from pre-cycle and cycle I. The successful of this research could be clearly seen from
the class percentage that passed minimum criteria of mastery learning (KKM). There
were only four students’ or 30.76% who got the score passed KKM in pre-cycle and
thirteen students’ or 100% who got the score passed KKM.
2. The strength of the implementation of documentary film as the media is that it
can raise students’ participation in writing class and it can engage the students’
argumentative writing proficiency. However, the implementation of some material or
films needs some preparations, especially in choosing interesting topics or theme
which are not only suitable to the theme but also suitable to the curriculum and
students’ need.
B. Suggestions
Having implemented documentary film as the media to engaging the students’
argumentative writing proficiency, the researcher would like to present some
suggestions as follows:
1. It is strongly suggested that using documentary film in teaching English
argumentative writing be continually implemented in IAIN Bone in order to avoid
monotonous material.
2. In using documentary film, lecturer should make extra preparation starting
from the selection of materials which should be suitable to the students and
curriculum to be used in the class.
