69 independent phase. In all those phases, most of the students agreed and strongly
agreed to the statements that examined their opinion about the process of Scaffolding Strategy used in Extensive Reading II. The researcher proposed five implications of
Scaffolding Strategy; those were being independent learners, being cooperative learners, developing reading interest, developing self-confidence and achieving
excellence. All of those implications were responded positively by Extensive Reading II students.
B. Suggestions
In order to make better implementation of Scaffolding Strategy in Extensive Reading II class, the researcher spelled out suggestions for Extensive Reading II
lecturers, Extensive Reading II students, and future research.
1. For Extensive Reading II Lecturers
Since Scaffolding Strategy aims at leading students to be independent all at once to be cooperative learners, the activities conducted should facilitate students to
work independently through individual tasks or assignments and to work cooperatively through group project or group work. In Extensive Reading II Class A
and Class C of 20092010 academic year, all of the tasks were assigned as individual assignments; no wonder that the students were successfully able to be independent in
completing the tasks. However, group project or group work was not present along the semester. In order to lead students to be independent learners that can also work
cooperatively with others, it is better to provide more group work assignments.

2. For Extensive Reading II Students
A lot of assignments and tasks along the semester could be burdens for some students. The researcher does expect that the students not focus too much on
abundant tasks, yet to focus on the advantages they would gain from all those assignments; like being independent learners, being cooperative learners, developing
reading interest, developing self-confidence, and achieving excellence.
3. For Other Researchers
Since this research – about students’ perceptions of Scaffolding Strategy used in Extensive Reading Class – is the pioneer research in the English Language
Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University, the researcher admitted that this research is far from being perfect. Thus the researcher does hope that other
researchers who are interested in examining Scaffolding Strategy can conduct research in wider areas of study, such as Scaffolding in literacy skills, and in better
techniques to enrich this research.
