5.3.2. Suggestion for further research
After conducting the research and analyzing the result of the questionnaire and interviews, the researcher has some recommendations for teachers, learners, parents, school administrators and other researchers.
For teachers, beside some common techniques to teach English, teachers may choose another method such as applying intergration into other subjecrs in teaching to lead the lessons more effective as well as make students pay attention to the lessons more. Teachers always need to improve their teaching skills by participating in training courses. Furthermore, teachers should also clearly understand the program information they intend to teach. You should carefully prepare documents and textbooks before teaching. And finally, always listen and receive feedback from students, parents and educational administrators.
For students, they can access many new learning methods instead of learning in the traditional way. This program can improve students' English proficiency level better. Further more, they also need to work hard and enthusiastically build lessons in
class as well as actively discuss with teachers about your lessons. In addition, when students return home, they can practice more in other convenient ways
For parents, a good suggestion for finding a suitable affiliate program for your child to improve English and other social knowledge. Since parents are the ones who interact with their kids the most, their impact is important. Parents have an impact on their children's desire to learn English. Parents should encourage and advise their children to speak English well. Furthermore, they need to discover carefully about what they want their offspring study. They can consider more suggestions and make better decisions when choosing a completely new program for their school's students.
For school administrators, deciding to apply different programs at school is very important because it directly affects the quality of teachers' teaching as well as the learning outcomes of students. Therefore, this study can help school administrators have more useful resources in choosing the right curriculum for their school. In addition, they can also know the strengths and weaknesses that need improve of the teachers or the school's facilities.
Finally, this paper can be used as a useful reference for other investigators who are using this mobile program or are exploring a program to teach and learn a new language.
