A person's attitude towards a particular object may influence his/her behaviour towards this object (Bohner & Wanke, 2002). Actually, in Yemen, British English and American English accents are both used in private institutes, particularly in textbooks. Therefore, identifying the teachers' attitudes towards English accents is quite pertinent in improving the learning of this foreign language. This paper mainly investigates the attitudes of Yemeni English language teachers towards American and British English accents. It also attempts to find out which English accent Yemeni English teachers mostly use in the classroom. A questionnaire was used to elicit the attitudes from 40 Yemen English language teachers, taught at English learning private institutes. The results indicate that most of the participants prefer to use American accent more than British in the classroom. However, they use a mixture of both while teaching. Even though the majority claim that no accent is superior to the other, most of the participants consider British accent as the actual accent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
