The purpose of this paper is to examine and compare the use of a standard textbook with the use of target language culture materials on student classroom motivation. Seven participants out of a class of 35 Korean university EFL students volunteered to participate in this study. This was a class in the skill of reading in English and met once a week for two hours, with one hour devoted to use of the textbook and another hour to studying cultural materials. These students engaged in interviews, diary entries, and were subjects of observation during one semester. Observation sheets were used to record students' on-task behavior, and also their overall class motivation as they used the textbook and the cultural materials, which consisted of three Hemingway short stories. Findings indicated five of the students were positively motivated to learn by the stories, and two students indicated a preference for the textbook. This study concludes with a discussion of classroom implications and study limitations.
