1. For Students

Being active in learning activities helps the students to understand the lesson more. In this case, the students should participate actively in student- teacher consultation in order to help them to solve their writing problems and to improve their essay. The researcher suggests the students get involved in the consultation so that they know their strengths and weaknesses in writing an academic essay and they can improve their writing proficiency. Furthermore, the students can use grammar and spelling checker in Microsoft Word to minimize the grammar and spelling mistakes so that the lecturer can focus not only on the grammar but also the content of essay.

2. For Lecturers

Since the role of the lecturers in the teaching and learning activities as a facilitator for the students, the lecturers should motivate the students to get involved in the learning activity actively. The researcher suggests the lecturers determine the learning’s rules. It means that the lecturers need to explain the importance of doing consultation and the students’ participation need to be assessed. Moreover, the lecturers need to decide the consultation as a compulsory activity in AEW course. Furthermore, the lecturers need to focus more on the content of the students’ essay because the students’ critical thinking skill will be trained. Therefore, the students will be more motivated to consult their essay and improve the content of the essay. 68

3. For Future Researchers

The researcher expects that this research inspires other researchers to conduct further research on the implementation of consultation in writing course. The researcher suggests the future researchers investigate more on the teaching and learning strategies which are appropriate to be implemented in writing course and investigates more on the other kinds of consultation which are appropriate to be implemented in writing course. Therefore, the writing course and the students’ proficiency can be improved.
