ABSTRACT
English is used in many parts of the world in different varieties. For South Koreans, who are usually exposed to Inner Circle varieties such as American English through school education and mainstream media, English varieties other than Inner Circle varieties may sound unfamiliar to them and, thus, may trigger language attitudes different from those for Inner Circle varieties. In this study, language attitudes of South Korean college students and office workers towards different varieties of world Englishes are explored through a web-based questionnaire using VGT. Attitudes towards world Englishes are further discussed on interpreter-mediated world Englishes speech as well, as English communications in South Korea are often mediated through interpreters in business meetings, seminars, and conferences. Language attitudes are discussed around three traits: superiority, attractiveness, and dynamism. American English was awarded the highest scores for all three traits, while Outer Circle and Expanding Circle varieties received mixed results. The clear preference of the participants for American English was mainly due to intelligibility and familiarity reasons.
