Thus, students are not decisive about which variety to use; they tend to mix both varieties in many aspects either in pronunciation, grammar, spelling and vocabulary. Therefore, our purpose in this research is to investigate whether the students are aware or not of the differences in spelling and vocabulary existing between British and American English. For that sake, we have addressed a questionnaire and a test to a random sample of forty Master 1 students in the University Frères Mentouri- Constantine to find answers to our questions. The questionnaire aims to collect data about students’ perceptions of their own level and general knowledge about language varieties and its importance in learning English, while the test is used to actually assess their procedural knowledge in this area. The findings have revealed that Master 1 students are unaware of the differences between British English and American English in terms of spelling and vocabulary which rejects our hypothesis. This stresses the need for teachers to deal more explicitly with this issue in the classroom.
