CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
The result of calculation t-test formula shows that the score of t-observed 3.003 the score of t-table 2.024. It means that clustering technique
significantly affects the students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. Through
clustering technique, the students are being able to express their ideas easily and put them into such a good descriptive text. Thus, it can be concluded that the null
hypothesis Ho is rejected and the alternative hypothesis Ha is accepted.
B. Suggestion
In relation to the conclusion, suggestions are stated as the following: 1.
Since this research is limited to investigation of the Clustering Technique on writing and how the Clustering Technique can be developed is not known, it
is suggested that a research should be done on writing development. 2.
The English teachers are suggested to apply clustering technique to improve the
students’ ability in writing descriptive text, the students are suggested to use clustering technique in order to increase their ability in writing
descriptive text and other researchers are suggested to apply clustering technique in conducting the further research with other skill or genre.
