The fact has proven that actually all teaching methods are good. Either TBL or DI methods had been able to achieve satisfactory score. Therefore, it
cannot be argued that a teaching method is better than others since it comes naturally in the students themselves. What should be done is how to find an
eligible method for the level of students’ linguistic competence.
5.3 Suggestions
There are some suggestions related to the previous conclusion and implication. The suggestions are:
1. It is highly suggested for language teachers to apply task-based learning TBL
since it is able to improve students’ writing achievement.
2. It is highly suggested for language teachers to know the level of student’s
linguistic competence since it signifi cantly affects the students’ writing
achievement. 3.
It is suggested for language teachers to apply task-based learning TBL for students with high linguistic competence while direct instruction DI for
students with low linguistic competence. 4.
Teachers should realize the students’ characteristics such as their linguistic competence before choosing teaching methods. Thus, the methods applied will
be matched with what they need. As the result, their brightness is able to be improved maximally.
