A. Conclusion
Using scaffolding techniques in writing descriptive text is effective. In this research, the significant effect was proved by the students‟ posttest mean score
77.02 of the experimental class which was treated by scaffolding techniques which was greater than the post-test mean score 73.79 of the controlled class
which was not treated by scaffolding techniques. The result of statistical hypothesis test on the level of significance 5 found that t
value
was 3.837 while t

was 2,021 or t

. Thus, the H Null Hypothesis was rejected and the

Alternative Hypothesis was accepted. In the other word, it was concluded that there was a positive effect of using scaffolding techniques
toward students‟ skill in writing descriptive text.
B. Suggestion
Dealing with the conclusion of the research, the researcher would like to give some suggestions as follow:
1. Teachers Teachers should pay attention to students‟ processes, because writing is
not gained by a short period. It needs a long time journey to finish the writing. Then, do not forget to construct a prior knowledge before asking the students to
fulfill their tasks.Hence, using scaffolding techniques is recommended. Moreover, it was implemented and the result was effective.
2. Further Researcher For further researcher, try to apply scaffolding in different skills of English
language. Some experts have tried to conduct a study of scaffolding toward students‟ writing, then make something new. Long time journey in conducting the
study means more effective.
