Our purpose of the present study is to observe closely and examine criticaily the perceptual errors which university students make when they hear spoken English. One hundred students are asked to trans-cribe one-minute taped utterance read by a native speaker at naturai s peed . Perceptual errors are analysed from various angles; with reference to phonetics, syntax, and semantics. It was found that as subjects are unable to difierentiate "significant" phonemes from "insignificant" allophones, many cases of decoding fluency are resulted. There were many errors which, if they were more conscious of grammar, would have been avoided. Students seem to pay much attention to what they hear but less attention to the basic grammar of English. On the other hand, it is interesting to note that even when students could not hear the word well or did not know the word, some subjects were trying to guess that particular word from the stress pattern, context, and so on. This "guess work" is very important at premature stage. In order to attain perceptual fluency, students have to go through this premature stage, which is a "necessary step" to leap at the mature stage.
