In this paper, I will try to introduce the grammar class as taught at a private high school. The course textbook is written in Japanese but instruction is given in English. My focus is on how to provide students with grammar knowledge which they can use outside the classroom. A lot of written work is required as well as communicative activities. When instruction is in English, students must think and respond in English, and consequently they see English not just as a foreign language or some kind of puzzle to solve but as a tool for communication. Diagrams and pictures are useful tools for explaining grammar patterns and also to keep students' attention. The students' concentration is reinforced not just because of these teaching aids, but because they try to understand what the teacher is saying. The other byproduct is the awareness of their own understanding. They have to understand the English the teacher uses and at the same time, they have to digest the grammar system. This combination of factors encourages students to respond to their own understanding of the language which leads them to be responsible for their own learning.
