B. Recommendations
The English teachers are encouraged to apply jumbled words in the class, so that the students were able to improve their ability to construct sentences. In
this research, the researcher used jumbled words to focus on simple sentences. Then, the learning process can be focused on the higher level which is complex
sentences. Therefore, the students have the quality of sentences in their writing product.
For further research, researchers can improve the use of jumbled words in the learning process. They can apply jumbled words to help students to construct
not only simple sentences but also compound sentences, complex sentences, or compound-complex sentences. Therefore, the students improve their ability to
construct sentences from the simplest one to the complex one. After students can master how to construct good sentences, they can move to master how to write a
good paragraph. Hence, jumbled words can be conducted in other researches. For students, they can practice by themselves at home as jumbled words
can be found easily in the text book, internet and other sources. Therefore, they can keep practicing and improving their ability.
