Abstract
The present study focuses on students’ attitudes towards different English varieties, while also testing how precise they can be in correctly identifying them. A questionnaire was used to elicit language attitudes from 68 first-year students in the dimensions of prestige, social closeness, and linguistic attractiveness. The findings show that the participants perceive the South English variety as the most prestigious and the most linguistically attractive one, while the Scottish variety was perceived as the most socially close to our participants. The Croatian speaker was the most correctly identified, but he was also one of the most poorly rated in the dimensions of prestige, social closeness, and linguistic attractiveness. The Northern Irish variety was the most misidentified one. The participants would predominantly like to speak with either British accent or American accent, and the South England variety is, they believe, the most suitable for Croatian ELF teachers.
Abstract (croatian)
Provedeno istraživanje usredotočeno je na stav studenata prema varijetetima engleskog jezika, testirajući pritom s kojom ih preciznošću mogu prepoznati. Kako bi se utvrdio stav 68 studenata prve godine studija upotrjebljen je upitnik s kriterijima: prestiž, društvena bliskost i lingvistički afinitet. Rezultati pokazuju da sudionici percipiraju varijetet koji se govori u Južnoj Engleskoj kao onaj koji uživa najviše prestiža i koji je jezično najdopadljiviji. S druge strane, varijetet koji se govori u Škotskoj percipiran je kao društveno najbliži sudionicima ovog istraživanja. Izvornog govornika hrvatskog jezika prepoznao je najveći broj sudionika, no on je ujedno bio i najlošije ocijenjen prema kriterijima prestiža, društvene bliskosti i dopadljivosti jezika. Varijetet engleskog jezika koji se govori u Sjevernoj Irskoj najviše je puta bio pogrešno prepoznat. Sudionici bi pretežno željeli govoriti britanskim ili američkim naglaskom, dok varijetet engleskog jezika koji se govori u Južnoj Engleskoj smatraju najprimjerenijim hrvatskim nastavnicima engleskog jezika kao stranog jezika.
