Abstract:

 This study aims to investigate and understand language attitudes Algerian University students hold toward Received Pronunciation (RP) and General American Accent (GA). The focus is on the three components of attitudes: cognitive, affective and conative evaluations. To reach this target the verbal guise technique (VGT) was used to evaluate students’ accents unconsciously. Fifty-six Algerian students who study English as a foreign language (EFL) received a questionnaire and were asked to rate the two accents. The findings suggested positive attitudes toward General American Accent; moreover, the obtained results of the emotion-based affective favoured GA over RP. The findings stressed the complication of language attitudes towards English accents in the Algerian context.
