4. The researcher
ɑfter conducting the research on improving the students‟ writing skill through the implementation of the Genre-Based Approach, I have become more
open-minded in terms of English teaching and learning process. I have also had some more understanding about the students
‟ learning needs in the classroom. Moreover, I have got an experience in conducting a research, particularly an
action research, which is an unavoidable routine for a teacher. Conducting this research is really beneficial in a way that it gives me some real pictures of the
teachers‟ responsibilities to improve the students‟ skills as well as to help the process of their character building.
C. Suggestions
After conducting the research, there are several recommendations that I would like to offer. The recommendations are regarding the teaching and learning
process, the students, the English teacher, and me myself. They are presented below.
1. The teaching and learning process
An appropriate teaching method is a need in the class that seeks for an optimum result. Whatever the method, or approach, employed in the teaching and
learning process, an English teaching and learning process should be rich of interactions and collaboration among the class members including the teacher and
the students from which the objective of learning can be achieved. It is mainly the job of the teacher to provide the students with opportunities and to design an
106
English instruction that can get the students engaged in the teaching and learning process.
2. The students
An English instruction can come to success if the students have a positive attitude towards the teaching and learning process. It requires the students to
retain and maintain their internal motivation in learning English and to be given the opportunities to participate in the teaching and learning process.
3. The teacher
Being involved in a research study, the teacher had a better perspective about the teaching and learning process in the classroom. Therefore, it is
suggested that the teacher conduct her own action research to improve her quality of teaching. I would also like to suggest the teachers who still believe that
problematic students could be controlled by giving punishment to re-evaluate and reflect their way of teaching. I believe that teaching is not about controlling the
students, but to teach is to collaborate with the students in order to achieve the learning and teaching objectives, and more importantly to build their characters.
4. The researcher
The experiences of conducting action research are needed by English Education Department students to prepare them to be English teachers in the
future. With such experiences, they can better understand the jobs of teachers. Consequently, it is worth conducting an action research for English Education
Department students, who are preparing to be English teachers, so they can have sufficient competencies to be teachers.
