Those are two simple suggestions that the researcher offers. The researcher believes the suggestions can give more or less the cultural immersion a space to
take place.
C. Recommendation for Further Research
In the last sub chapter, the researcher can only give a recommendation for the extensive future study on the similar topic. The present study which is on the
development of the students’ pragmatic competence, particularly implicature, in Spoken English is a cross-sectional study which compares only three groups,
namely: semester 2, semester 4, and semester 6. The extensive future study on the similar topic can be much more holistic if it is done by comparing 4 groups,
namely: semester 2, semester 4, semester 6, and semester 8. This is to see whether the pattern of the development is more or less the same, or the pattern of the
development shows an increasing significant development with the semester 8.
