English. In conclusion, the mind mapping can be used as an effective technique in the writing class that can motivate the students in learning
and improve their writing ability.
C. Suggestion
Based on the conclusion and implication above, there are some suggestions from the researcher related to teaching writing:
a. For the teacher
Mostly, students think that writing is not interesting and difficult to be mastered. Considering that, the teacher must be creative and selective
to use an interesting technique and media in teaching writing. Students’ motivation is an important aspect in learning, so the teacher should be
able to keep the students’ motivation in learning in order to make the teaching and learning process runs well. An example way to motivate
the students in learning is by an using interesting technique and media. The mind mapping is an example of the interesting technique in
teaching writing. It can be used in the pre-writing activity to motivate the students in writing. It involves activities of drawing and writing, so
the students will find it interesting. The use of colors in the mind mapping process also makes the students enjoy the activity. Moreover,
it is also helpful in improving the students’ writing ability. So, the teacher can use this technique to improve the students’ interest and
ability in writing. b.
For the school
The institution should support the English teacher to improve the quality of their teaching by providing facilities that enable them to
access new materials and media for teaching. The institution should facilitate class stationery such as some whiteboard and some coloring
board marker to afford students’ boredom. c.
For other researchers This research implements mind mapping in improving the students’
writing skills. It is hoped that the result can be used as additional reference for further research in different context.
