It is widely believed that listeners understand some dialects more easily than others, although there is very little research that has rigorously measured the effects. This stidy investigated wether listeners experience more difficulty eith regional, ethnic, and international dialects of English than with Standard American English. The results demostrated that speaker dialect had a significant effect for both English as a second language(ESL) listeners (n-158) and native-English-speaking listeners (n=58). ESL listerners scored lower on listening comprehension tests hearing ethnic and international dialects of English compared to Standard American English; however, there were no significant dialect and Standard American English. These results suggest that regional dialects should be considered in listening comprehension tests such as Test of English as a Foreign Language.
