6. What was your perception on the use of this videos?
Ehm..i love to use that and I‟m going to use that for my next listening courses because it really helps students to understand or to introduce them with
various accents and that way they get more knowledge and experience and it‟s good and especially how to teach them to think critically and if we have different
culture, it will enhance the critical thinking.
7. Do you have suggestion in using the videos of non-native English
speakers as teaching learning media? What are they?
Now English is very rich. I think it is the time to introduce the students about this because if I see students in semester one and two, the lecturer only
teach two accents, British and America accents recording and like comparing the two accents, and I think, oh com
e on, they should change the material. It‟s no longer about America or British. I think it‟s world English, to give them
experience and also knowledge that we have rich and various English.

1. Did you enjoy listening to the non-native English speakers
’s accents videos? Why?
About the material, because we could travel around the world, we were given some videos or short movies, those are from outside Indonesia and such as
80 Bangladesh, India, because I could learn some new accents from those countries. I
enjoy it because sometimes their accents are unique, odd.
2. What were the challenges that you found in listening to non-native
English speakers ’s accents videos?
I don‟t find difficulties in them
3. How did the non-native English speakers
’s accents enrich your knowledge of English accents?
So, when they speak with different accent I could understand what they are talking about because I have seen some of my friends said that they were not
familiar with this accents they said that they are only familiar with America or British.
1. Did you think that listening to the accents of non-native English
speakers ’s in the videos helped you to improve your listening skill?
Why?
Yes. I become more sensitive to the pronunciation, how they sound it.
4. What was your opinion towards non-native English speakers accents
videos?
In my opinion it is easy to understand non-native speaker because their pronunciation is more clear than the native speakers. I think that the accent, the
speed, the clarity of the speaking is clear for me, but the exception with India. I find it more difficult because their accent is odd, so I could
‟t hear clearly, but I could understand what they are talking about, but I could understand the detail.
