English instruction that can get the students engaged in the teaching and learning process.
2. The students
An English instruction can come to success if the students have a positive attitude towards the teaching and learning process. It requires the students to
retain and maintain their internal motivation in learning English and to be given the opportunities to participate in the teaching and learning process.
3. The teacher
Being involved in a research study, the teacher had a better perspective about the teaching and learning process in the classroom. Therefore, it is
suggested that the teacher conduct her own action research to improve her quality of teaching. I would also like to suggest the teachers who still believe that
problematic students could be controlled by giving punishment to re-evaluate and reflect their way of teaching. I believe that teaching is not about controlling the
students, but to teach is to collaborate with the students in order to achieve the learning and teaching objectives, and more importantly to build their characters.
4. The researcher
The experiences of conducting action research are needed by English Education Department students to prepare them to be English teachers in the
future. With such experiences, they can better understand the jobs of teachers. Consequently, it is worth conducting an action research for English Education
Department students, who are preparing to be English teachers, so they can have sufficient competencies to be teachers.
