CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
In this section, the writer comes to the conclusion of the research. Considering the research findings and the discussion, it can be concluded that the teacher
certification affects the quality of English teaching and learning process in SMA N 1 Klaten. In this case, it especially deals with the ability of the certified English
teachers to create teaching activities which bring about fun and cooperative way of learning, provide various interesting materials and media, and conduct evaluation on
students‟ performance that promotes their learning. In running their profession, professional teachers have to arrange lesson plan,
conduct a quality teaching and learning process, and evaluate students‟ learning. Creating various teaching activities which bring about fun and cooperative way of
learning enhances the quality of teaching and learning process. The teachers, as professional teachers, are encouraged to create such activities which can promote
students ‟ learning. Thus, most of the English teachers in SMA N 1 Klaten arrange
teaching and learning activities which can motivate the students to be actively involved in the process of teaching and learning by creating activities which bring
about fun and cooperative way of learning. It is proved that the students of SMA N 1 Klaten are mostly engaged in the teaching learning process actively. Consequently,

the students are also encouraged to learn English naturally. Thus, if students are in a fun situation, they will be motivated to learn in the class and simultaneously, the
quality of teaching and learning process will improve. The implementation of those activities cannot be successfully handled without the roles of some people within the
school: the teachers, the students, and the policy makers in SMA N 1 Klaten. The teachers, at this point, are those who have the greatest contribution in creating such
fun activities. The teachers, therefore, should be creative and innovative in providing those activities for the students. The students are positioned as the main subject of the
teaching and learning activity so that their active participation and contribution are highly required in the process of teaching and learning. The policy makers in SMA N
1 Klaten are those who monitor the teachers‟ performance and promote their professional development for more effective teaching
The effect of teacher certification on the quality of English teaching and learning process can also be seen by the various interesting material and media
provided by the teachers. The ability of the teachers in choosing and developing materials which can promote students‟ learning is the symbol of their
professionalism. The English teachers in SMA N 1 Klaten understand that the use of various interesting material and media is important in language teaching. Therefore,
they make use of it to make the students feel interested in following the lesson. Printed materials and also audiovisual materials were provided by the English
teachers in SMA N 1 Klaten. In line with the use of various materials, various kinds
of media were used to present the material in a more interesting way. As a consequence, the students felt interested in following the lesson because the material
was interesting for them. Being provided by such an interesting material and media, the students are motivated in following the lesson.
The evaluation conducted by the teachers also affects the quality of English teaching and learning process in SMA N 1 Klaten. For professional teachers,
evaluation is done not only to know how far the students have learned something but also to make important decision related to their teaching. The teachers in SMA N 1
Klaten assessed the students not only by giving a periodic test but also by doing daily observation on
students‟ performance. They let the students know about what aspects the teachers will assess from the students and how they woill assess them. By doing
so, the teacher wants to motivate the students to give their active participation in the activities given. It is proved that the students were more active in activities assessed
by the teachers. Besides, by doing evaluation, the teachers are able to make decision about what they have to do in order to conduct the more effective teaching and
learning process. Although in general the English teachers in SMA N 1 Klaten can be
considered as professional teachers, there are some aspects which still need improvement. The first aspect is the teachers‟ lesson planning. Since professional
teachers have to be able to plan their lesson, the English teachers in SMA N 1 Klaten have to be able to plan their lesson also. As found in the research findings, most of
the English teachers in SMA N 1 Klaten feel that arranging lesson plan is a burden. They arranged lesson plans only to fulfill the administrative work in SMA N 1
Klaten. They have not really realized the importance of lesson planning in the effort of creating an effective teaching and learning activity. Therefore, they need to
improve the quality of their lesson planning in order to improve the quality of teaching and learning process in the classroom.
The second aspect which needs to be improved is the variety of teaching activities provided for the students. Providing various activities for the students helps
the teachers to avoid students‟ boredom. As found in the research findings, most of the teachers gave monotonous activity for the students. The students will be less
motivated if the teachers do this in a long period of time. Since the process of teaching and learning will be more effective if the students are motivated, the
teachers need to think of any possible variation in their teaching in order to maintain the students‟ motivation.
