The purpose of this study was to investigate how many and what kinds of utterances pre-sevice English teachers and their students uttered during English classes through the modified method of FLint (Foriegn Language Interaction) analysis. Data sources consisted of five pre-service English teachers’ short versions of English teaching and their lesson plans. They presented for eight or ten minutes to show a little bit of every step of their English classes. Thier English classes were videotaped during their presentation and transcribed for analysis, and analyzed by the FLint Analysis. The results of the study revealed that pre-service English teachers showed questioning the most in their classes, and providing information was the second. Second, the results indicated that students showed showing responses, whether they are individual, or collective ones, the most in their utterances during their Englsih classes. This study suggests that the nature of utterances of teachers and students during their English classes may be very mutual and interactive between teachers and students. Therefore, it is very important for teachers to realize that teachers’ utterances during their classes are very powerful in attracting students’ responses.
