This study was to analyze qualities of communication activities in an English grammar class for secondary school students. To this end, a secondary school teacher’s English grammar lesson was selected from the best English teachers’ program on the EBS (English Broadcasting System) and was analyzed using COLT(Communicative Orientation of Language Teaching) observation scheme. The study found that interactions with teachers in a meaningful practical context or collaborative learning among students allowed the English language to be used authentically for students to collaborate. This class has not only provided a rich form of aural and oral English through active interaction between students and teachers, but also an opportunity to expand the use of English as a main classroom language. Since most of the activities were carried out in a form of collaborative learning, a high-participation of students were observed in classroom activities in a rather comfortable atmosphere by avoiding an excessive competition with each other.
