The classroom action research was employed in this study and was done in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of four stages: (1) planning, (2) action, (3) observation, and (4) reflection. Each cycle took three meetings. The instruments used to collect the data were observation, checklist, field-note, and speaking test. After the implementation of Group Investigation through two cycles, the researcher concluded: First, Group Investigation improves the students’ speaking ability by (a) increasing the students’ pronunciation, grammatical, vocabulary, and fluency, (b) by reducing the students’ reluctance to speak, worry of making mistakes, and afraid of being laughed at by other students. Second, Group Investigation improves the students’ participation in speaking (a) the students learnt how to investigate a certain problem and to solve the problem using English,(b) how to share, (c) how to discuss, (d) how to give their ideas, (e) how to accept other opinions, and (f) how to present their ideas. Third, the obstacles in the implementation of Group Investigation are: (a) The students were noisy, (b) Some students spent too short in the presentation,(c) Some students had difficulties in expressing their arguments and suggestion related to the topics, and (d) Few students dominated the group investigation.  \nKeywords: group investigation, speaking  \nA. Introduction  \nMastering the communicative competence in using English is important, so that the Indonesian government adds the teaching of English from junior high schools, particularly for senior high schools, in fostering the students able to communicate both in oral and in written forms to overcome their daily problems (Depdiknas, 2006) . Thus, the teaching of English is to develop the four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.  \nSpeaking, as one of the four skills, should be developed to develop the students’ability communiating in English. According to Hedge (2003), learning speaking is very important for students. Speaking is an activity to understand and gain information in verbal communication. Speaking is also the activity of expressing ideas and thoughts through verbal language. The ability to understand what other people talk and to answer in the target language is the indication of mastery the language. The ability of speaking will maintain their involvement in the real communication of English and express ideas and thought.  \nIn learning a second or foreign language, one is considered have mastered the language when s/he is able to use it in term of speaking. Nunan (1999) states that the ability to function in another language is generally characterized in terms of being able to speak that language. People measure the mastery of a language by seeing whether one can speak the language or not. The teaching of speaking should enable the students to use the language orally in the real communication. Harmer (2001) argues that teachers should foster their students by giving speaking tasks that provoke them to use all and any language at their command. Those tasks are leading the students to have a change in using English in or outside the class, to give confidence, and to motivate the students.  \nIn fact, not all students are able to speak English. Many students are low in speaking ability. Nunan (1999) states that many English learners are reluctant and unmotivated.
