Conclusions CONCLUSIONS, IMPLICATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
the strategies. During conducting the research, the researcher had to look for other sources outside the institution as the school had not provided enough
learning media for example novels and movies in English. To get students more exposures in writing, they were supposedly provided with various
English written books, newspaper, bulletin, etc.
3. For Other Researchers
This research was conducted in the second semester that had very limited time. So the results of the students’ writing might not perfectly reach
the maximum score. Other researchers who are interested in the same field are recommended to implement the actions in a longer period of time to get the
maximum results especially during the first semester.
