Abstract—This paper reports a pilot study upon segmental and super-segmental deviations of 40 Chinese English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ sentence imitation task. The researchers annotated all substitute phonemes and tones for each observed phoneme and tone in the imitation task to describe some phonetic features of the norm of China English Accent (CEA), and probe for the dividing line between CEA and errors. Some carriers of CEA have been observed on the base of the data analysis to describe parts of the norm of CEA upon which a tentative dividing line was drawn between CEA and errors. Some pedagogical reflections were made to cast upon English teaching. Teacher’s stance towards CEA was discussed.
