The article is devoted to the problems of perception of foreign-accented speech in modern English-language communication. The theoretical aspects of foreign language accent typology and potential difficulties of perception are considered. The article describes the course of preparation and conduct of an experiment on the auditory perception of East Asian and European accent types in English by Russian-speaking and foreign students. The results show that the typology of foreign accent phenomena in English speech of bilinguals according to the global regional standards is objectively perceived by the participants of the perception experiment, while identifying the speaker’s nationality within these standards is likely to be problematic. The proximity of one's own accent in non-native speech to the perceived one contributes to the success of communication.
