This study aims to find out what attitudes non-native speakers of English have towards standard and non-standard varieties of British English and how these attitudes correlate with the attitudes of native speakers. This study is restricted to Swedish L2 learners of English taking the courses English 5 and English B in a Swedish Upper Secondary School and it is compared to studies done in the UK. The study shows that there are correlations between the accent attitudes of L2 learners of English and the accent attitudes of native speakers of British English, and reflects over and discusses why these correlations occur and what may have affected them.
