The subjects in this research represent the diversity,
which is present in Yangtze University. As English classes are
given in grades 1 and students spend most of their freshman
year studying English in Yangtze University, we chose 121
students from grade 1 of different majors. None of them is
majoring in English language or English literature, but like
almost all first-year university students, they take English
classes as a compulsory subject, using textbooks selected
without reference to their major.
