80 Bangladesh, India, because I could learn some new accents from those countries. I

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.

1. Do you like listening activities?
Tidak suka listening, tapi bisa
2. Did you enjoy listening to the non-native English speakers
’s accents videos?
Kurang enjoy non-native, merasa kalau lebih ngefix in native dulu sebelum non- native. Kalo langsung loncat ke non-native itu rasanya kayak base nya itu d sini
belum ada tapi sudah ada materi baru yang harus dipelajari. Ehm,,, ini baru nih, tapi yang lama belum tau tapi dasar dari dalam diri kita sendiri itu aja belum kuat
itu rasanya setengah-setengah gitu loh.
3. What were the challenges that you found in listening to non-native
English speakers ’s accents videos?
Kadang gak dapat main idea, kurang lengkap ide nya. Sambil dengerin sambil nyatat.
4. How did the non-native English speakers
’s accents enrich your knowledge of English accents?
Kalo kita dengar banyak aksen itu kita juga belajar linguistic, disinin kita belajar non-native otomatis itu belajar pronunciation ya dan pasti sudah beda
