The (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equation considered as a model equation for describing the interaction of the Langmuir wave and the ion acoustic wave in high frequency plasma. By the execution of the exp(-Φ(ξ))-expansion, we obtain new explicit and exact traveling wave solutions to this equation. The obtained solutions include kink, singular kink, periodic wave solutions, soliton solutions and solitary wave solutions of bell types. The variety of structure and graphical representation make the dynamics of the equations visible and provides the mathematical foundation in plasma physics and engineering.
