This was a qualitatively designed study. One class semester two students majoring in civil engineering department were involved as research participants. Learning material in the form of snapshot consisting of pictures was design to bridge the students thought to the whole learning materials. Snapshot without vocabulary enrichment and driving questions was tried in the first two sessions. Discussion upon the lesson was intensively undertaken to know why students hesitated and were doubtful to speak.
