CHAPTER 5. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter presents the conclusion and suggestions of this experimental research. The suggestions are proposed to the English teacher and the future
researchers.
5.1 Conclusion
Based on the results of the data analysis and the hypothesis verification discussed in the previous chapter, it can be concluded that there was a significant
effect of using composite pictures on the eighth grade students’ reading comprehension achievement at SMPN 11 Jember. The research findings said that
the students in the experimental group got better score than those who were in the control group. The result of the data analysis showed that the statisticali value of
significance column was 0.00002 lower than 0.05. It means that there was a statistical difference between the mean score of the student in the experimental
group and the mean score of the students in the control group.
5.2 Suggestions
Since using composite pictures on reading comprehension has a significant effect on reading comprehension acheievement, this media can be used as a
consideration to improve the students’ ability in comprehending the reading text. Thus, the researcher proposes some suggestions to the following people.
5.2.1 The English Teacher
It is recommended for the English teacher to use composite pictures which represent the content of the text as the media of teaching English especially in
teaching reading comprehension skill. Hopefully, the English teachers will use composite pictures not only in teaching reading comprehension but also in
teaching the other language skills and language components. Furthermore, it is
important for the English teacher to motivate and lead the students to cope with reading difficulties by using pictures. So it can develop the quality of English
language teaching especially in teaching reading comprehension.
5.2.2 The Students
It is suggested that the students of SMPN 11 Jember be actively involve themselves in the teaching and learning process by practicing their English by
using composite pictures as their media to help them comprehend the text more easily. By using this picture, they can illustrate the general idea and forms of
object and action in definite setting which represent the content of the text.
5.2.3 The Future Researchers
It is hoped that the result of this research can be used as a reference and information for future researchers to conduct further research dealing with similar
problem by using another research design such as descriptive study on students’
reading achievement by using composite pictures.
