It is hypothesized that Students do not use one variety consistently, that they prefer American English, and that this latter is popular among students while British English is popular among teachers. To check the validity of these hypotheses, a written questionnaire, coupled with a pronunciation and spelling test, were targeted to a random sample of fifty second-year EFL students at the Université des Frères Mentouri-Constantine 1. The questionnaire helps to check the students’ claims about the use of a specific variety of English while the test helps to recognize the use of the two varieties in their actual performance. The obtained results show that the participants do not use one variety consistently; rather, they unconsciously use a hybrid version of the two predominant varieties. In their performance, however, it is quite obvious that they prefer the American variety rather than the British one which they report is preferred by their EFL teachers due to the department’s encouragement of that variety Diplome : Master 2 Permalink : https://bu.umc.edu.dz/master/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=13245 A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF STUDENTS’ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE USE OF BRITISH AND AMERICAN ENGLISH AND THEIR ACTUAL USE OF THOSE VARIETIES A Case of Second Year L.M.D Students, Université des Frères Mentouri, (Constantine1) [texte imprimé] / Warda Belalit, Auteur ; Houda ACHILI, Directeur de thèse . - CONSTANTINE [ALGERIE] : Université Frères Mentouri Constantine, 2020 . - 89 f. ; 30cm.
