Abstract
This study looks at how native speakers of English respond to different World Englishes compared to non-native English speakers. Also, it looks at whether people who have more experiences with travel or languages have more positive attitudes towards World English speakers and if they were able to know where a speaker is from. Four native and four non-native participants (eight in total) who were Composition I students were interviewed. Four recordings of various World Englishes were used and participants were asked about their attitudes towards the Englishes. This study found native and non-native participants do not have different attitudes towards World Englishes. It also found that experience did not affect attitudes or abilities identifying World English speakers.
