Kreitner and Kinicki 2007, p. 207 perception is a cognitive process which lets people to interpret and understand surroundings.
The students‟ perception on the use of Google Translate in writing their Analytical Exposition was connected by students‟ own experiences
which was supported Warga 1983 who state that perception is based on the past experience. Based on the data analysis, students could not decide whether
Google Translate helped them as a learning tool in writing Analytical or not as the majority of answers
chosen by the students were „undecided‟. From the data gathered, it could be concluded that Google Translate
sometimes helped the students in writing Analytical Exposition but sometimes it did not help students in XI IPS 1 SMA N 1 Banguntapan. Some of the
students believed that Google Translate helped them in writing Analytical Exposition as they kept using it meanwhile other students disagreed that
Google Translate could help them in writing Analytical Exposition.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
In this chapter, the researcher presents the conclusions from the discussion in chapter IV and the suggestions. The researcher divides this chapter into two
parts. The first part is the conclusions which are the summary of the research findings. Meanwhile the second part is the suggestions for the future studies.
A. CONCLUSIONS
There was only one research problem in this study which was; what is the students‟ perception about the use of Google Translate as a writing tool in writing
analytical exposition text in XI IPS 1 in SMA N 1 Banguntapan? After conducting the study, the researcher found that the students used
Google Translate in writing analytical exposition text because they had difficulties in understanding English. The students had difficulties in memorizing vocabulary
and understanding grammar which made writing become difficult. Yet, understanding grammar and having rich vocabulary were essential to produce a
good writing. Through the questionnaire and the interview, the researcher obtained the
data about the students‟ perceptions on the use of Google Translate in writing analytical exposition text in XI IPS 1 SMA N 1 Banguntapan. From the
questionnaire and the interview, the result showed that the students could not 59
60
decide yet whether they had negative or positive perceptions as the majority of the answers were undecided. The students were still in the process of learning and the
result showed that some of students found that Google Translate was helpful; meanwhile other students did not find that Google Translate was helpful for them.
B. SUGGESTIONS
Based on the findings of this study, the researcher proposes some suggestions related to this study. The suggestions are for the English teacher in
grade XI, the students of grade XI, and the future researchers. The suggestions are as follows.
1. English Teachers of Grade XI
Based on the data obtained, it showed that the teacher did not really pay attention to the students‟ needs. Therefore, the role of the teachers is still
really needed in the class. It would be better if the teacher give students vocabulary tests regularly
to enrich the students‟ vocabulary. The teachers also need to be more creative in teaching grammar since the students are bored and
do not understand with the conventional way of teaching grammar.
2. Students of Grade XI
Based on the data obtained, the students need to be more active in learning English. Even though the teachers do not provide enough materials to
learn vocabulary and grammars, the students can learn it by themselves. Students are suggested to go online, read a lot of English article to enrich the
vocabularies and grammar. Group study is also suggested since peer learning
61
is more comfortable because they are in the same age. Hopefully students can improve their English vocabulary and grammar through self-learning when
they feel they do not get enough materials in the class.
3. Future Researchers
Even though this thesis still has many flaws, the researcher still hopes that there will be future researchers to conduct the similar research. In this
research, the results showed that the students cannot decide yet whether Google Translate is helpful or not since they are still in the process of
learning. However it was only from the students‟ perceptions. It will be great if future researches can conduct a study that shows the teachers‟ perception on
the use Google Translate on writing Analytical Exposition.
