In era of globalization, English language skills are crucial for facing challenges in the workplace and communicating with people from different cultures. However, there are still high school students who are not interested in learning the language. The purpose of this study was to increase students' desire to learn English through the use of interactive learning media such as educational comics combined with the jigsaw puzzle model. In class X-B at SMA Negeri 4 Pamekasan, this classroom action research (CAR) was conducted following the Kemmis and McTaggart cycle, which includes planning, action, observation, and reflection. Comic material related to students' daily lives was included in the learning process. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were conducted after data were collected through documentation, observation, and a learning motivation questionnaire. The results showed a significant increase in learning motivation: an increase of 31.25% from pre-cycle to cycle I and an increase of 25% from cycle I to cycle II. Overall, learning motivation increased by 56.25%. The results indicate that the combination of visual narratives in the form of comics and the jigsaw puzzle model for peer collaboration is effective in increasing students' desire to learn. Furthermore, the jigsaw model provides teachers with practical ideas on how to create creative and interactive English learning. Results show that comic visual narratives and peer collaboration through the jigsaw model effectively increase students' desire to learn. Furthermore, this method enables English teachers to create innovative, interactive, and digital-generation-appropriate learning.
