Abstract: Many researchers have proven English to be an international language that extends beyond limitation and imagination.The English language is widely spoken across the world to the extent that it has varieties.A number of countries and regions especially British and America have their own ways and style of spelling English words, using irregular verbs past and past participle, using English vocabularies, abbreviating words, interpreting words, pronouncing words, expressing sounds, pronouncing accents, pronouncing numbers, using grammars, describing events, applying words and inserting collective nouns.The current study attempts to specifically focus on English dialect variations in Jordan, Britain and America.The study compares English grammars, spellings, pronunciations and vocabularies in these regions.The study extends its analysis to the difficulties encountered by EFL and native speakers in speaking, writing, listening and reading other dialects.To achieve the research objectives, comparative and analytical approaches were adopted.The study concludes that familiarizing oneself with these variations is essential and unavoidable.This is to ensure that a dialect speaker benefits from other dialect speakers, comprehends the content of their message correctly and avoids committing dialect blunders.Consequently, the study recommends that EFL teachers and learners must possess orthographical and oral knowledge of these dialects.It suggests that variations in these regional dialects be incorporated in course-books for educational practices.
