CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the conclusions of the research and the recommendations. There are two major sections of discussion in this part. The
first section discusses the conclusions after the research was conducted. The second section discusses some recommendations for ELESP students, English
teachers and future researchers.
A. Conclusion
This research investigates how students’ reflection to enhance their self-
awareness in learning Structure II. The research problem was answered through reflection and interview. Based on the discussion in Chapter IV, the researcher
found that reflection could enhance students’ self-awareness in learning Structure

researcher propose some
recommendations for ELESP lecturers, ELESP students, and future researchers.
1. ELESP Student
Reflecting previous learning helps students to obtain self-awareness. When students reflect their learning, they will be able to examine their past learning and
be aware of how their learning is. The researcher recommends ELESP students to reflect their learning process in order to gain benefits from reflection.
