teachers can implement the jumbled-word game in their teaching-learning process. In this research, the researcher used worksheet and small pieces of papers
as media of jumbled-words. However, the English teachers can develop the used media. The media of the jumbled words, size and shape of the jumbled-words, and
way of the teachers in distributing the jumbled- words will affect students‟ writing
results.
2. The Future Researchers
Future researchers can improve the use of jumbled-word game. There is already research of the use of jumbled-word game in constructing simple
sentences. Thus, the future researchers can implement this game to help students in constructing complex sentences or compound-complex sentences. The future
researchers can also modify the jumbled-word game and its activities to make it more interesting and fun.
3. The Students
Students can practice the jumbled-word game by themselves since it is practical and fun. The jumbled-word game can be found easily in text books and
online sources, hence its advantage for the students to improve their writing skills.
