  • Many people regard speaking skill as the proof whether someone successfully learns English or not. Therefore, to fulfill the demand, the buzz-group discussion technique could be one of the techniques used by some English teachers to teach speaking skills. Therefore, this study has two objectives that were to describe how the teacher implement the buzz-group discussion technique in teaching speaking skills and to observe the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of the buzz-group discussion technique in teaching speaking skills in XI-IPS class at SMAN 1 Ambunten Sumenep. This study employed a descriptive qualitative design applying three methods to collect the data; they were observation, interview, and document analysis. The instruments employed were checklist, field notes, interview guide, and document. The subject of study was the English teacher. In order to gain rich data, the researcher only examined one class, the XI-IPS 1 class. The results of study showed that the teacher used five procedures in implementing the buzz-group discussion technique; those were forming the buzz-groups, presenting the problems to be discussed, explaining the guidelines of the discussion, asking all buzz-groups to discuss, and inviting the buzz-groupÂ’s delegation to report/present the result of the discussion. By adjusting to the number of students and the problems, the teacher grouped the students into buzz-groups. Moreover, the teacher pointed a secretary in every group and asked each group to arrange the seat in a circle. The implementation of the buzz-group discussion technique brought some advantages in making the students easy to speak English, preparing them to speak in the big group discussion, making them enthusiastic, motivated & brave to practice English speaking, and creating an enjoyable and exciting teaching-learning activity.
