In this chapter, the researcher would like to present the conclusions of the research results which were obtained when the researcher conducted research in
SMA Santo Mikael Sleman. Besides, she would like to give recommendations for English teacher, further researcher, and students.
A. Conclusions
The research problems are how jumbled words are applied in SMA Santo Mikael and whether jumbled words can improve the students’ ability in
constructing simple sentences or not. The researcher used jumbled words as a solution to helping the students of SMA Santo Mikael grade XB to improve their
ability to construct simple sentences. Jumbled words were applied as a grammar game in the class. In playing
the game, the students played and learned at the same time. At the beginning, the jumbled words were applied as a group game. In the group game, the students
were very active. They worked well in their group since they discussed together how to arrange the jumbled words given. They tried their best to win the game. It
meant that each of them tried to think and solve the problem. After that, the jumbled words were applied as individual game. The students worked seriously
and individually. They expressed themselves freely.
80 The implementation of jumbled words could improve the students’ ability
since it motivated the students to learn and be willing to think and learn the language in enjoyable learning. Based on the data, the students were active and
enthusiastic when the jumbled words were implemented in the class. Furthermore, they worked seriously in individual game. Subconsciously, they constructed good
sentences from arranging the jumbled words into good sentences. Therefore, the implementation of jumbled words could increase the students’ motivation to join
the learning process. Moreover, the jumbled words, one of grammar games, could help the
students to improve their ability to construct simple sentences since there was repetition in learning process. Most of the students felt that jumbled words helped
them in constructing sentences since they stated that it was easy to understand. From the data that the researcher had, from eleven students, there were only three
students who failed. Besides, the average of error percentage of the students’ writing in simple sentences decreased. It could be shown from the students’
sentences in preliminary study, cycle 1, and cycle 2. The result showed that more than half of the students improved their ability to construct simple sentences.
Therefore, the jumbled words not only could motivate the students but also improve the students’ skill in constructing simple sentences.
