This study investigated how Chinese students’ perceptions of English varieties changed through their study-abroad experiences in Korea. The findings revealed that, prior to studying in Korea, participants’ views were strongly shaped by English education in China, where American and British English were widely regarded as the most standard and authoritative varieties. They also reported insecurity about speaking English with a Chinese accent. After arriving in Korea, however, they were exposed to a wider range of English varieties through classroom learning, intercultural communication, and everyday interactions. These experiences gradually reshaped their criteria for evaluating English. Although American and British English continued to be valued for their perceived standardness, participants increasingly emphasized intelligibility and communicative effectiveness over conformity to native-speaker norms.
