"Recent research suggests public speakers with non-native English accents struggled to get attention compared with native speakers. This indicates that there's work to be done when it comes to sharing knowledge across cultures and languages."
"Speakers with a non-native English accent garnered fewer views and likes. This indicates that 'accentism' is a major form of bias, and one that has been underrepresented in past research."
Research indicates that non-native English speakers struggle to gain attention compared to native speakers, suggesting that accents contribute to bias. This bias, termed 'accentism', affects engagement levels, as evidenced by lower views and likes for non-native speakers in public speaking contexts. The study highlights the need for strategies to enhance knowledge sharing across cultures and languages, addressing the underrepresentation of accent-related discrimination in existing research compared to other forms of bias.
