A. Conclusion
Before the conclusion projected, the writer will state two research questions which explained before in the first chapter. The first research question
was how does the flashcards improve students’ writing skill? And the second question was to what extent can flashcards improve students’ writing skill? The
conclusion will be explained in the next paragraph. Since the first research question asked about how the flashcards can improve
students’ writing skill, the writer will explain the implementation of action. The writer conducted the implementation of action using flashcards as the main
learning media to teach writing to the students. The writer used drilling method to teach writing using flashcards. By using flashcards students became more
interested in the learning activity. Students thought that flashcards were interesting and fun, so they could learn something in unusual way. The writer
found that using drilling method flashcards could improve students’ writing skill. Students could develop their idea to make a good paragraph. From the first cycle,
there were some weaknesses. The writer found that some students did not pay attention to the learning media, they were very passive. That was the reason why

different technique of drilling method. The writer conducted some group quiz to make students more interested in the learning media. With the improvement, the
students became more active and they, who did not give their attention in first cycle, gave their attention in the second cycle. That is the process how the
flashcards can improve students’ writing skill. And the explanation of the answer of second research question will be explained below.
The second research question was answered by using the result of first and second cycle’s post-test. The writer conducted post-test to measure whether the
implementation could help students or not. The result of the test has been explained in the chapter four. The writer found observed three aspects of students’
skill. The first was general writing skill. The result of this part was total from the students’ grammar result and students’ idea development result. The students’
general writing skill was increasing from the pre-test until the second post-test. The detail result of the improvement can be seen in the chapter four. The result of
students’ grammar and idea development also increased. By seeing the result of the whole tests, the writer concluded that flashcards could improve students
writing skill, especially in grammar and idea development. Based on two explanations above, the writer concluded that flashcards can
help students to improve their writing skill. The flashcards can improve students’ writing skill because the result of the post-test was increasing. The result of the
second cycle’s test was better than the first cycle’s. It means that the implementation can help students to improve their writing skill. By seeing the
result of the test, the writer concluded that flashcards can help students to develop
