In recent years, the necessity of communicative English lessons for college students have been emphasized. In reality, however, Japanese English instructors are still facing difficulties in introducing the methods which focus on students' interaction in English. A survey of college non-English major students found that their learning experiences, learning styles and attitudes are the main reasons for resisting an active communicative approach. Therefore, we need to introduce a dynamic approach to change learners' attitudes and to motivate them to communicate in the target language actively. Presumably, an answer to this issue can be found in the simulation activities. This article focuses on a simulation activity which deals with common airport situations. The effectiveness of the methodology is examined through surveys taken before and after the students participated in the simulation.
