C. Suggestion
For an effective and better implementation of Jigsaw technique in improving students reading comprehension of narrative texts, the following suggestions might be considered valuable for the researcher as a teacher in her teaching and for other English teachers with the same problem:
1. The researcher as English teacher should continue using Jigsaw technique in teaching reading. Because Jigsaw technique can improve students’ reading comprehension very well.
2. For further research, the researcher suggests to investigate whether Jigsaw technique can improve students’ achievement in other skills.
