AB - This study examines the evaluative reactions of South Koreans studying English as a second language (ESL) in the Philippines toward three speakers of different varieties of English: American English (an Inner Circle model), Philippine English (an Outer Circle model), and Korean-accented English (an Expanding Circle model). Following the verbal guise technique, speech samples representing the aforementioned varieties of English were used as attitude elicitation tools. The findings are presented according to the participants' evaluations of the three speakers' character traits, group memberships, and desirability as English teachers. The study generally reflects common notions about speakers from the Inner and Expanding Circles as perceived by Koreans, which may serve to explain the majority's preference for teachers with an American accent. However, the data also reveal relatively uncertain perceptions about the Outer Circle speaker. The knowledge gained from this study is essential because shared attitudes and perceived information about speakers of English could greatly affect students’ learning of the language (Baker, 1992; Lado, 1988). Pedagogical implications are therefore discussed in terms of promoting learners' awareness of language variation in English, including more open ways of looking at speakers from the Outer and Expanding Circles.
