The purpose of this study is to investigate the communicative feature of an integrated English language and Physical Education class. For this study, eight students taking a preschool Physical Education course made a lesson plan using a teaching model suggested by Kim and Yoo (2013a). In addition, the short version of integrated English language and Physical Education teaching was analyzed with items established by COLT. The results of the study revealed the class was evaluated as relatively communicative in that there was a group work; English was used exclusively as the medium of instruction; various materials were used, and so on. On the other hand, it seems that meaningful and communicative language-use opportunities were not enough. For the class to be more communicative, more meaningful and authentic interaction should be integrated. However, the results demonstrate that even though the class was integrated with another subject, the lesson could be communicative.
