In this mixed-methods study, 200 raters (70 male, 130 female) responded to the statement “Men and women are equally easy to understand when speaking a second language”. While 67% reported no difference, 28% responded women were easier to understand, compared to 5% for men. Written reasons given for percieved gender differences in comprehensibility were coded and their implications for speech assessment will be discussed.

Implicitly, perceptions did not differ significantly between groups; however, explicitly, the SGE group showed a more neutral and analytical attitude. The analysis delves into the underlying causes of these observations and provide suggestions for future action.
