CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

This chapter presents the conclusions of this study and suggestions from
English teacher and for further researcher.

A. Conclusion
Based on the findings and discussion, the researcher concluded that
enhancing students' speaking ability by using talking stick could increase
the students' speaking ability. By used 2 cycles in this study, from cycle 1
to cycle 2 experienced an increase in students' speaking ability. The results
of the student speaking test in the first cycle data were 42% of students
who passed the KKM score (75) with an average score of 68. 75. Then in
cycle 2 the results of the student speaking test reached 78% of the students
who passed the KKM score with an average score of 76.75. So, the
percentage of research reached 36%. The aspects that had improved in
using the talking stick strategy are vocabulary and pronunciation. Students
increase their vocabulary skills by learning and understanding from their
learning process at each meeting. Students also increase their
pronunciation because they had hearing that is able to correct each word
and the pronunciation that is conveyed accompanying the pronunciation.
As a result, the pronunciation was better than before. From the results
above it could be concluded that enhancing the students’ speaking ability
by using the talking stick strategy could improve and this research was
succesfull.
Meanwhile, students' pronunciation and grammar were still low in
cycle 1. Because they still made mistakes in making several sentences and
also some students could not explain specifically the information from the
text given.
B. Suggestion
After conducting this research, the researcher offered several
recommendations that could be suggestions for English teacher, and the
future researcher as explained as follows:
1. For The English Teacher
The English teacher could used the talking stick strategy in
students' speaking ability in the class, because the talking stick
strategy could increase the students' speaking ability, besides that
the talking stick strategy could also increase the students' fluency
and pronunciation, and could make students more active during the
teaching and learning process in the class.
2. For The Future Researcher
The researcher hopes that this research could be useful and
used as a reference for future researcher to conduct better English
language teaching and learning strategies. Future researcher could
apply the talking stick strategy to other skills such as reading and
writing and could combine the talking stick strategy with other
methods to overcome students' nervousness and students'
pronunciation when they have to speak in the learning process.
Future researcher are expected to better prepare themselves and
increase accuracy in the process of taking, collecting, and
everything so that research could run better.
