This study presents how the author implemented motivation-oriented teaching in college English conversation classes. After years of frustration with encouraging students to get interested in class, she introduces exciting video clips of Korean celebrities speaking English. The decision is made from the observation that students nowadays are strongly and extensively influenced by celebrities on social network service (SNS) or television. The video clips show celebrities speaking English in different occasions. This case study compares the knowledge-based with the motivation-based instruction conducted with performing arts students. In the motivation-based class, the students showed increased attention to class activities. Their active responses to questions also suggest that they seem to closely attach themselves to celebrities more than to the instructor. Celebrities in this class served as a good motivator to students. The results of the course evaluation indicated that students improved their interest and attention in the course.
