Written interviews were used in this study to find out how Taiwanese learners felt about non-native English speakers. The information was gathered from a group of Taiwanese students enrolled in an English language course at a private university language center in the Philippines.
The study's conclusion urges Taiwanese learners to become more cognizant of the fact that English is widely used as an international language and to be exposed to more non-native English speakers.
The researcher, who teaches in Taiwan, observed that many of his Taiwanese pupils appear to believe that mastering the American standard is necessary for success in learning English.
According to the researcher's earlier research, Taiwanese learners found non-native English speakers to sound strange. If the goal of learning English is to communicate in a language that adheres to international standards, this is problematic.
The number of non-native English speakers has surpassed that of native speakers. Non-native forms of English have begun to play a significant role as an international language. Nonetheless, Taiwanese students still frequently view a native speaker as the only role model.
