The purpose of this study was to evaluate the various types of classrooms available in order to improve students‘ English communicative competence. A survey was conducted on forty-one secondary school teachers and one hundred forty-four high school students. Seventy-two of the students had English class twice a week. The other seventy-two students had English class once a week to prepare for the college entrance examination. The questionnaire consisted of fifteen questions covering areas such as the strong and weak points of the classroom environment, and the ways that the teachers could utilize the room to teach more effectively. The results indicated that there is a significant difference in opinion amongst the groups. However, the teachers and students are in agreement that various classroom environments and diverse teachings methods are necessary to conduct more effective classes. The teachers especially demanded more diverse classrooms. Therefore it is better to make 2 or 3 low-budget variation type classrooms to teach English if a school has over 24 classes. Based on the data analysis, more research should be done about the types of classrooms that would help improve how English is taught in Korean secondary schools.
