520 $a The purpose of this study was to examine the language attitudes of high school students in Micronesia toward bilingual speakers, to explore language variations and to discover how students valued accents.
520 $a The population comprised of 100 high school students, male and female, representative of Commonwealth of Northern Marianas, Chuk, Palau, the Philippines and Korea. The technique used to measure the subjects' views toward different types of speech representative of the Chamorro and Carolinian groups was primarily based on a variation of the Matched-Guise technique developed by Lambert, Hodgson, Gardner, and Fillenbaum (1960). The instrument used bipolar adjectives on a nine four-point scale to determine the attitude or perception of the judges on three dimensions: competence, personal integrity and social attractiveness.
520 $a A language background questionnaire was completed by the judges to ascertain their relative use and ability in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing of English and at least one indigenous language during interaction with parents, siblings, friends, teachers, and other persons. This population of 100 high school students had never been exposed to the Semantic Differential instrument nor the Matched-Guise technique. Since the type of activities were new, the students showed great interest and enthusiasm.
520 $a The hypotheses which stated that there would be no significant relationships between gender and ethnicity of judges toward accents of bilingual speakers was tested by an Analysis of Variance with repeated-measures. The results were significant as they indicated that the bilingual Chamorro speakers educated in the United States received the highest scores. The strongest effect of guise was shown by Chamorro judges who evaluated the Chamorro guises more favorably on the whole. Female speakers were rated more favorably than male speakers.
520 $a Recommendations included (a) paradigm shifts by all school personnel to recognize language changes, (b) the importance of the vernacular in second language acquisition, (c) the incorporation of bilingual studies in curriculum planning for global understanding of other cultures, (d) articulation of language studies developed according to an educational philosophy, and (e) further studies like this study to establish acceptance of other bilingual populations in our multicultural society.
