The chapter is intended to present the conclusions and suggestions. The conclusions are derived from the findings of the research which are based on the
research question formulated in the first chapter. The suggestions are intended for English teachers and the future researchers.
A. Conclusions
Writing skill should not be ignored from the teaching and learning process. It is because the students need also to know the way to communicate with other
people in written form. Therefore, teacher should also teach the students to write a text.
Recount is one of the texts that should be taught in X grade of senior high school. The students are expected to be able to know about recount text through
four skills of language, including writing. However, if the students have difficulties in writing a recount text, it becomes the teacher’s task to overcome the
problems. The participants of this research also had difficulties in writing a recount
text. Therefore, the researcher implemented this classroom action research by using picture series to help the students write a recount text. There were two
cycles in this research. Having analyzed the data taken from the research, the researcher concluded that the use of picture series helped the students in XB of

SMA N 10 Yogyakarta write a recount text which is seen from the number of the students who failed to pass the passing grade in preliminary 23 students, cycle
one 17 students, and cycle two 8 students. The use of picture series helped the students get ideas and then develop the
ideas which could help them write a recount text quickly. Moreover, the students could make the events of their story sequent. It was good since a recount text
should have sequence of events. Furthermore, the students agreed that their vocabulary increased after experiencing writing a recount text using picture series.
The use of picture series also helped the students think creatively in analyzing picture series and then making a recount text based on the picture series. Finally,
the use of picture series could also motivate the students to write a recount text happily.
B. Suggestions
In this section, the researcher recommends some suggestions for English teachers and also future researchers who want to conduct a research on the similar
topic. The suggestions are presented below: 1.
For English Teachers It is suggested to English teachers who want to teach their students about
writing a recount text using picture series as the instructional media. It is because the use of picture series in teaching writing recount provides a lot of benefits
which have been explained in the result and discussion of this research. However, the teachers should provide good and clear picture in order to avoid ambiguity

which may lead the students to misinterpret the picture. Besides, it is suggested that the teachers provide colorful picture series because colorful picture series can
raise students’ attention like what the participants of this research request.
2. For Future Researchers
Future researchers who would like to conduct a research on similar topic may use the data in this research to support their research. Besides, it is better if
the researcher can provide colorful picture series to raise the students’ attention and interest in writing a recount text using picture series. The researcher should
also be patient in conducting a research because the researcher may find many obstacles and difficulties. However, the researcher should not give up easily
because there is a way if there is a will. The researcher should enjoy the process of doing a research. The researcher should keep in mind that doing a classroom
action research is for the sake of better improvement to help themselves and others.
