The native speaker accent bias: unpacking the anxiety experienced by non-native english students / Muhammad Andi Rusgandi

Abstrak
English has been widely spoken as a universal language. Thus it is quite probable that English will interact with regional tongues spoken in specific regions influencing the emergence of English with diverse regional accents. Yet despite this fact some students still believe that speaking with a native English speaker s accent proves one s fluency in the language. As individuals come from different nations or places they have diverse races cultures and accents hence accent variety is something inevitable. Therefore the whole rationale for their inclination toward native accents was still unclear when the research first started. Therefore this study employed a descriptive qualitative case study design to dissect a detailed inquiry into the matter since this method is suitable for research where either the problem is vague or has a distinctive issue which this study possesses. However prior studies indicate that the majority of research participants are metropolitan university students. Junior and senior high school students in rural locations who could have distinct linguistic difficulties and experiences from their urban counterparts are under-researched. This study is being done to find out how rural senior high school students perceive this problem overall. The results showed that a large number of students admitted to having experienced embarrassment about the sound of their accents. For this reason even though they did not consider it to be a requirement or their primary goal for learning the language most students in the current research believed that obtaining a native-like accent was beneficial. In short even though they value understandability above accuracy in pronunciation and embrace the local accent as their identity due to their environment which is a tendency that EFL students largely exhibit they still nevertheless tend to favor the accent of native English speakers.
