With the change in social environment that surrounds English language education, teaching methods became more communicative in the 80's. Along with this change, a method to measure the orientation toward communication in class was needed. The COLT (Communicative Orientation of Language Teaching) observation scheme, which was developed by Spada and Frohlich (1995), was introduced to estimate communicative orientation in class and to reveal the relationships between teaching and learning. Ishizuka et al. (2005) used the scheme to study the degree to which the purposes of an English program are actually reflected in classroom activities using the COLT observation scheme Part A. This paper examines the teachers' different approaches in reflecting the purposes of the English program through the communicative features of teacher-student verbal exchanges, and those of student-student in which the COLT observation scheme Part B was used. Results indicate that this scheme successfully provides us with information on the differences between instructors. The results also show the validity of the scheme for English programs.
