This study examines the effects of self-selected topics on students' intrinsic motivation to speak English as a foreign language. Participants in this study were 26 students enrolled at the department of English in Blida2 University, Algeria. Following the mixed-methods approach, the study uses an adapted version of Deci and Ryan (2010) Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) and a structured-interview. The IMI was distributed twice: the first time was after the assigned-topics sessions and the second was after the self-selected topics activity. To understand the IMI results, a structured-interview was conducted with 10 participants. The study's results revealed that when the participants were allowed to select the topics, their IM to speak English was higher compared to when the researchers assigned them topics.
