5.2.2. Suggestions for Further Research
Besides the suggestions for English teachers, there are also several points necessary for further study to concern. Firstly, it was found that Facebook and its
features seem beneficial to peer correction activities. However, Facebook is just one of many social media available nowadays and it may not be convenient for
some students. Therefore, it suggested for further study to employ different social media in peer correction activities to discover more findings and benefits to
educational purpose. Secondly, in relation to research design, it is suggested that further study
employ true experimental design to generalize the result of the research and strengthen the internal validity due to the use of control group in the design.
Thirdly, in relation to subject of the research, further study may apply more participants in order to enhance the generalization and transferability of the
finding of the research. It is also suggested that similar study can be applied in different level of students, for example senior high school level. The different
context and setting may be worth investigation since it may discover new findings and values of Facebook closed group peer correction.
At last, it is also important for further studies to be focused on specific analysis of the effects of Facebook closed group peer correction on each aspect of
writing improvement since this study concerns about the holistic score of writing achievement. Thus, the positive effects of Facebook closed group on each aspect
of writing improvement can be fully explored.
