B. Recommendations
The research recommends some suggestions for English teachers and future researchers who want to conduct similar research.
1. For English Teachers
The researcher suggested that CTL be used in speaking class. CTL can be used as an effective method to improve students’ speaking skill which has been
explained in chapter IV. However, the teachers should check the students’ participation in the group activity. Some students might tend to be passive in the
group activity. The teachers are also suggested to use various interesting activity and media in the teaching-learning process because the students can be bored if
the activity is monotonous.
2. For Future Researchers
For future researchers who want to conduct similar research, the data on this research can be used as a reference to support the research. Future researchers
are suggested checking the students’ participation in the group activity. Moreover, some topic related to CTL can be developed not just in speaking skill but also in
writing, reading, and listening skill.
