The world Englishes perspective assumes that English belongs not just to native speakers, but to all English users. It is thus hoped that the new perspective that embraces varieties of English can contribute to increasing self-confidence in non-native teachers of English. However, the new perspective has yet to inform teacher training programs as well as teaching methodology. The purpose of this study was to examine whether and to what extent the world Englishes perspective is accepted among Korean pre-service teachers of English. A questionnaire survey was conducted with a group of prospective teachers and non-prospective teachers for a comparison. The results of the study revealed that the prospective teachers had less favorable attitudes towards non-native teachers of English and had a lack of world Englishes. This paper suggests that teacher training programs for pre-service teachers as well as in-service teachers introduce the world Englishes perspective to the teachers so that the teachers can enhance their self-confidence in using English as legitimate English users and prepare their students for intercultural communication in a global context.
