Abstract	Casual observation usually shows a tendency for most Korean EFL students to prefer the pronunciation of teachers from English speaking nations such as Canada and the United States. However, sometimes their preferences and the reasons for their preferences, may not always reflect reality. This paper examines the results of a survey done on 92 EFL university students in South Korea, where they had to identify an accent and answer questions on how positive or negative their attitudes towards the accents were. This paper also examines some implications of the survey. (Contains 9 tables.) (As Provided).
