Besides the results of the study showed that the students were enthusiastic motivated and actively involved in teaching and learning process using Accelerated Learning technique. There are some suggestions to offer for English teachers based on the research findings and discussion. It is suggested that the English teachers implement the technique as an alternative technique or strategy in English instruction in addition to other strategies and create the student-centred instruction. It is also is recommended that the teachers learn about the paradigm of brain work. Because it is important to maximize mind power in order to get easiness in generating ideas process of imagination and self-confidence. The next recommendation is the teachers should replicate in implementing this technique spread out not only for English subject but also to teach other subjects since it is content-free technique such as mathematics science history etc. It is worth a try this technique as often as possible. And the last is for up coming researchers I do hope that there will be the same other kinds of more qualified research in order to prove that Accelerated Learning Method through Master Technique is effective in improving students achievement not only in English but also in all subjects.
