In this research, the researcher implemented Jigsaw technique. The actions were designed to improve the students’ speaking skills and the students’ motivation to learn and to speak in English. In addition, they were implemented according to the curriculum and in line with the course grid arranged before the implementation of the actions. This study was an action research study consisted of two cycles and used qualitative and quantitative methods. The data of this study were qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data were obtained by observing the teaching and learning process during the implementation of the actions and interviewing the students about the implemented actions. The qualitative data were in the form of field notes and interview transcripts. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were gained by assessing the students’ speaking skills through the pre-test and post-test. The instruments for collecting the data were speaking rubric, observation guidelines, and interview guidelines. The data collected were qualitative and were analyzed from the field notes and interview transcripts during the research. The research results showed that Jigsaw technique was effective to improve the students’ speaking skills of Science Students Grade XI-1 of SMA N 2 Yogyakarta in the academic year of 2011/ 2012 during the process of the action. However, not all students gained improvement indicted in the post-test result due to external factors. There were students who did not gain any improvement at all, while for those who did, the improvement could be seen from their increasing score especially in the pronunciation and the interaction management skill. However, Jigsaw technique also has the downside. The observation showed that it was very time consuming. Despite its weakness in practice, Jigsaw made students more motivated and active during the teaching and learning process. The students produced more oral language, more negotiation in meaning and better pronunciation. In summary, Jigsaw helped students improve some skills in speaking English.
