B. Suggestions
The result of this research needs a lot of improvement because the topic coverage is still very wide so that further researches need to be conducted. Based
on the research findings, discussion, and conclusions, some students did not have good interest in English subjects. They were still affected by their learning
environment to direct their learning mood in good condition. Therefore, English teachers should create good atmosphere of English lesson so that students are able
to interact each other. The previous suggestion supports the conclusion of relation study from Curry 1990 that learners’ social environment determines their
learning implication. Peer-to-peer interaction among students will enlighten and refresh their minds in having preferred learning styles. If they already construct
their learning styles and comprehend their speaking abilities, good academic performance will come next. Since English is the language for global
communication, the awareness of the importance of English needs to be established. Conducting interactive speaking activities are the appropriate ways to
encourage students’ interest in English. School as the formal place for students to explore their English speaking
ability should organize proper curriculum so that students are able to perform their creativities in speaking English. Various competitions of English speaking need to
be conducted so that students are more familiar with English speaking use. School should also provide complete facilities related to English study such as English
dictionaries, English laboratories, and discussion with English native speakers so that students are able their potential in English speaking. The previous suggestion
supports the conclusion of related study from Richmond and Cummings 2005

with regards to the important role of learning material designs to improve students’ educational outcome. Hopefully, further researches related to this
research topic cover more functional essences and results for the sake of English speaking educational improvement.
