This paper aims to investigate the effect of Communicative Language Teaching(CLT) TOEIC classes on student attitudes and TOEIC scores. To collect data, the 161 students from two universities in Korea were asked to take TOEIC pre- and post-tests and fill out attitude questionnaires before and after teaching TOEIC classes utilizing two different teaching methods throughout one semester: CLT and CTM(Classical Teaching Method). The findings were that the students' attitudes in CLT TOEIC classes were significantly more positive than those in CTM TOEIC classes. Despite the more positive attitudes to CLT TOEIC classes, the students in both classes received significantly higher reading scores on the post-tests, regardless of the teaching methods used in their classes
