Abstract

The importance of spoken English has been intensified by the economic globalization and internet revolution due to the special role of English as a universal language.

Therefore, it is a heated discussion among researchers of foreign-language teaching on how to enhance the interest of study and teaching effect through the application of teaching strategy in classroom teaching of EFL, which is responsible for the enhancement of the student’s spoken competence. This study is devoted to explore the teaching design and application of the strategy “snapshot, bold show”. Result of contrastive analysis and survey shows that it can stimulate the learner`s motivation, arouse their learning desire and simultaneously improve their performance in English speaking.
