CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
A. Conclusions
Based on the research findings, the researcher concludes that there is a
significant effect of using Frayer Model on Students’ Vocabulary Mastery since
the students’ mastery in vocabulary by using Frayer Model is higher than taught
without using Frayer Model (by conventional Method). It was proven statistically
with t- observed > t-table (5.41 > 2.00; df = 58, α = 0.05). Therefore, alternative
hypothesis is accepted and null hypothesis is rejected.
B. Suggestions
It is important that the method in teaching and learning process should be
enjoyable so the students will be encourage in learning.
1. The English teachers should try to apply teaching vocabulary by using Frayer
Model. By using Frayer Model in teaching vocabulary, the teacher can
facilitate the student to learn independently.
2. The students should apply learning vocabulary by using Frayer Model in a
group or individually to make them have deeper understanding of a word.
