CHAPTER V RESEARCH LIMITATIONS, CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter is intended to present the limitations, conclusions and suggestions of the research. The research limitations are the summary of things
that have limited the perfectness of the research. The conclusions were derived from the discussion on the findings of the research. The suggestions were
presented to English teachers and future researchers.
A. Research Limitations
It was recognized that there were several unexpected things found during the process of writing this thesis. As a result, it was considered that several of
them have become the limitations of this thesis and have made this thesis imperfect in some parts.
1. During the teaching and learning practice of the action research, it was
discovered that many students have very limited vocabulary mastery. They even did not know many words that are high in the frequency of usage. It
became a big problem in that the teacher should worked very hard in helping them be able to guess words meaning from context with very
limited vocabulary mastery. They faced difficulties in guessing the words’ meaning because they could not understand the context. It was because
they did not have enough amount of vocabulary mastery that made them unable to understand the context.
2. In filling out the observation sheets, it was found that there was tendency
for several students choosing the good option provided in the observation sheets rather than the reality occurred in the classroom. In this respect,
they did not carry out the observation objectively and it had made the data gathered from the observation were unreliable in some parts. In order to
solve this problem, the researcher had conducted data triangulation method in analyzing the data.
3. The same thing also occurred in the interview session. It was recognized
that there was an interviewee who tended to explain the good things instead of something that actually occurred. According to Wiersma 1995,
it may occur in many interviewees. She calls it “response effect” Wiersma, 1995.
4. Since the interview was conducted after school, there was noisy sound
came from other students recorded unintentionally during the interview session. It had made the expected sound was not completely clear and it
had caused the researcher found difficulty in transcribing the audio data into written data.
B. Conclusions
There are two conclusions derived from the research findings and the discussion presented in the previous chapter. The first conclusion is derived from
