dc.description.other-abstractThis study investigated students’ attitudes towards various English accents at a Thai private University. The study adopted seven English accents from the inner, outer, and expanding circles, respectively, representing the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Philippines, India, Thailand and China respectively. A mixedmethods research design with a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview as instruments were used in this study. By random sampling, ninety-nine undergraduates of the Department of English for Business Communication International [IBEC] at a Thai private University were respondents to the questionnaire and twelve participants for the semi-structured interview. The quantitative data were statistically analyzed by means of frequency and percentage, while the qualitative data underwent content analysis according to Lichtman’s three Cs of data analysis. The findings of the study showed that students had positive attitudes towards the varieties of English accents. The study also reported students’ willingness to learn many accents to ease global communication, education success and career standing. The various English accents did not affect the students but positively influenced their needs and learning objectives. The topmost preferred accents were British, American and Thai English, respectively. Students indicated a significant efficiency of social media access to develop their preferred accents. Therefore, this study recommends that students be exposed to various accents in their learning prospects to reduce communication barriers, stereotype judgement, and promote English language learning as an international language in being guidelines for English teaching and learningen_US
