N2  - Accent Variation and Listener Perception: An Investigation of Attitudes, Intelligibility and Sociolinguistic Evaluation of Global Englishes by Indian English Language Learners: This thesis investigates how Indian learners of English perceive and evaluate different English accents in the context of Global Englishes. It examines learners’ attitudes toward accent variation, the intelligibility of diverse English varieties, and the social judgments associated with different ways of speaking English. The study explores how familiarity with accents, linguistic expectations, and sociolinguistic attitudes may influence listening comprehension and perceptions of speakers. By examining the relationship between accent, intelligibility, and social evaluation, the research contributes to discussions on English as a global language, inclusive language teaching, and intercultural communication
