Based on the conclusions, the experimental design of this study still has some flaws and needs to be modified. Therefore, the following suggestions for future researches on oral proficiency in English learning to refer to are raised.
5.2.1 Searching for some methods to reduce students’ anxiety
In the present study, the response of ELES showed that peer modeling of PAL strategies seemed to be effective to promote learners’ initiatives and perceptions of English learning. However, the opinions obtained from the ELES also showed that the learners’ anxieties about English learning might increased. Therefore, the researcher suggested that future researches must find the way to incorporate into practices or change the experimental process in order to reduce students’ anxiety.
5.2.2 Analyzing the information (such as practicing times, models, and etc.) to know more about the influence of PAL strategies
In the future study, the researcher may collect the relative information. For example, we could examine the number of times about listening to peers’ audio files.
Moreover, the other important information is about whom the students often listen to could be studied. To analyze these information, we may know more about PAL strategies and find the best way to encourage students’ language learning.
5.2.3 Appling another theory or strategy to the practices
Excluding the factors we carried about previously in the present study, like time control and manpower, the researcher are suggested to refer to peer tutoring, peer counseling, peer monitoring, peer assessment, to more English practices. Perhaps it would be a way to improve students’ oral proficiency in English.
