It also reports on the students' reliance on basic questions, particularly "Do you like?" and "What __ do you like?/What's your favorite __?", during these warmup activities. The study found that there is a high reliance on such basic questions when first-year university students have the opportunity to converse on topics of their choice, with a somewhat lower tendency on their part to practice questions studied and learned in previous class sessions. This paper also explores low willingness to speak, learner anxiety, lack of in-class communicative opportunities, and disinterest in textbook topics as issues possibly affecting their language choices.}, pages = {55--67}, title = {Speaking Freely: Self-Generated Language in University English Class "Free-Talk" Activities}, volume = {17}, year = {2019} }
