CHAPTER V: CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS

B. Suggestion

Based on the conclusion above, the researcher provides some suggestions for the teacher, other researchers who are interested to do related research, and the author of the textbook developer.

1. For the teacher, the researcher hopes the result of this study could be a consideration to choose relevant English textbooks which consist of all genres of reading material recommended by curriculum 2013, or the teacher could add other references from another book that contained genre that was not in the textbook.

2. For other researchers, this research may give a reference for the other researchers to conduct a study concerning analyzing the lexical density of any reading texts in the textbook for different course levels or different publishers.

3. For the authors, the researcher just found three genres of reading material represented in the textbook. It would be better if the author represent all genres of reading material recommended by Curriculum 2013, and the authors have to consider the ratio of index difficulty of the reading text.
