The current study aims to enhance students' intrinsic motivation in different achievement levels (TOEIC 420 level, 550 level, and 690 level). In more detail, the purposes of this study are as follows: (1) to enhance intrinsic motivation to listening activity of three groups; (2) to enhance intrinsic motivation to speaking activity of three groups; (3) to enhance intrinsic classroom motivation of three groups. This study further explores facilitating factors of intrinsic motivation. Thus, this article also aims (4) to examine which psychological need (the need for autonomy, competence or relatedness) plays the most significant role in students' motivational development. 138 university students who were enrolled in a first-year English language course participated in this study. The intervention was given to them for fifteen weeks. The questionnaires were administered three times (at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the intervention). The data were collected in both qualitative and quantitative way and the results were discussed with educational implications.

This paper atternpts to show that foFeigner talk can be con-structively explored in the framework of Audience Design, a concept pFesented by Bell (1983). This paper reviews the history of foreigner talk and explores how previous researchers viewed it. In assessing foreigner talk as audience design, it deals 14th Bell's three assumptions, and attempts to show that foreigner talk is primarily audience design. In aseessing referee design, it Feviews Tarzan talk and baby talk, howing that the refeFee design can account for at least some characteristic features of both types of talk.

Our previous research disclosed that oral reading such as "read and look up" combined with "personalized oral reading" is highly correlated with speaking ability. This is because this sort of oral reading embeds semantic and grammatical verification and restructuring, and thus increases learners' cognitive load. This result led to a further hypothesis; if oral reading instruction which involves high cognitive load is continued for a certain period of time, learners' speaking ability can be improved. A two-month experiment was conducted to verify this hypothesis with the first-year upper secondary school pupils as the participants. The participants were divided into two groups according to the different degrees of cognitive load accompanying the oral reading activities they were engaged in. The result of the experiment disclosed different levels of improvement in the participants' speaking ability, depending upon different degrees of cognitive load of the oral reading activities; greater cognitive load led to greater improvement in speaking ability. This finding endorses the pedagogical value of oral reading activities as preparatory practice in speaking as long as they involve high cognitive load.

The motion verbs "come" and "go" have been given explanations in both deictic and empathetic trameworks of research. However, when we look at the uses of these two verbs in greater detail, we find that these explanations are not complete. In this paper I have tried to find the most appropriate and available explanation that can account for every kind of use. First of all, we examine the deictic analysis of these verbs done by Fillmore arld deai with several problems in this analysis. Secondly, we compare the concepts of empathy and deixis. By deixis, we found that languages are produced by a very speaker-centered or egocentric point of view. By empathy, we found that language permits partial access to other people's inner states through linguistic communication and that information available through language compensates for the impossibility of directly experiencing the other person's point of view.
