CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter summarizes the major findings of the research and the limitations. This chapter covers two parts: conclusions and recommendations. The
first part concludes all of the answers to the research questions. The second part presents recommendations for junior high school English teachers and future
researchers who intend to develop and elaborate the Text Types Board learning media.
A. Conclusions
This study was conducted to find out how a set of Text Types Board was designed and how Text Types Board learning media affect junior high school
students ’ learning process. Therefore, the first research problem dealt with the
process of designing the learning media and the second research problem dealt with the effects
of Text Types Board for the student’s learning process. The researcher
combined Kemp’s 2001 and Dick, Carey, and Carey’s 2009 instructional design model to answer the first question. The following are
seven steps used in designing the learning media called Text Types Board. 1.
Identifying the needs of the learner 2.
Identifying the learner and context 3.
Identifying the instructional goals PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

Conducting the formative evaluation 7.
Revising the instructional materials In designing the Text Types Board, the researcher identified the learner
s’ needs by analyzing the questionnaires given to the learners. After identifying the
learners ’ needs, the next step was identifying the learners’ needs and brought it
into the context. Thus, the researcher gave them a test about the basic knowledge about text types in English. The researcher asked them to mention the purposes
and the general classifications of several text types in English. From that activity, the researcher knew their problem regarding text types in English.
After knowing the learner s’ needs and the context, the researcher
formulated the instructional goals. Then, the contents were sequenced based on the materials that the learners needed to learn. The researcher did not include
other text types in English that was not thought for junior high school. Therefore, the learning media will be useful for the learners.
In order to answer the second question stated in research problems, the researcher presented a learning media called Text Types Board which consists of
four columns. The columns are as follows: 1.
Text Types 2.
Purpose 3.
General Classification 4.
