Abstract
This study investigated the level of conformity and non-conformity of 102 Iranian EFL learners’ towards native speaker norms (NSNs) in learning English. The quantitative data for the study were collected by a contextualized version of the Timmis (2002) questionnaire. The findings suggested that despite the increasing use of English as an international language, there was an expressed preference for ‘native speaker pronunciation norms’ among these learners. They consider native speaker norms as achievable. The wider concluding remark of this study is that the blind acceptance of NSNs in English language teaching has come into question.
