This paper discusses the perceptions of non-native English speaker preservice teachers towards Englishes and which variety of English should be taught and learned. The study described in the paper involves the analysis of (1) questionnaires filled in by 100 Indonesian pre-service teachers, (2) listening journals written by 30 non-native pre-service teachers after listening to audio recordings available on 4 different websites and (3) interviews with 15 pre-service teachers to find out their current reflections on Englishes spoken by people from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Preservice teachers are selected to be the respondents of this study because they carry with them some strong ideas and beliefs about ELT (including the ones on varieties of English) which can significantly impact their learning process during their education program and their future pedagogical practices. Based on the findings, I would like to argue that teacher education should go beyond the inner-circle dichotomy and should focus on the preparation of competent users and teachers of EIL.
