    Annotation This paper explores conversational topics suggested for arousing students' interest in classroom discussions as a means of developing their speech skills. The purpose of this research is to compare teachers and students' expectations concerning the most welcome topics for communication tasks, the topics motivating students to produce meaningful utterances in response to communicative tasks set by teachers. Lack of linguistic means is usually seen as the main barrier, preventing students from verbalizing their ideas in the target language. However, for different reasons, it is the unwelcome topic which becomes the real obstacle, interfering with teachers' efforts to get their students speaking. The results of our survey clearly demonstrate that teachers and students' expectations with regard to topic preferences differ to a great extent. Very few topics are equally favoured both by teachers and students. The article analyzes reasons for the negative response of students to certain topic
    Keywords conversational topic, target language, personal problem, cultural issue, social experience
