to do their best. They were more motivated to follow the teacher‟s instructions such as asking some questions and answering by raising their hand. It implies
some rewards given by the teacher can give motivation to the students in learning English.
C. Suggestions
Based on the conclusions and implications that have been previously explained, some suggestions can be directed toward the English teachers and other
researchers. The suggestions are as follows: 1. For the English teachers
It is better to use Facebook group as one of the media during the process of the teaching and learning of writing, since it brings many benefits. All writing
activities could be implemented through Facebook group. It depends on the teacher‟s creativity to provide the interesting materials and tasks in the Facebook group.
During the implementation, the teacher should control all activities in the Facebook group and should be ready to give comment or feedback every time.
2. For other researchers Other researchers could use this study as a reference for conducting further
research of the relevant topics. Because of the limitations that the research has, other researchers may conduct other researches on the use of Facebook group in other
materials to improve the writing learning process.
