Abstract

In perspective of scoring criteria, topic settings, and testing emphases, this paper, by comparing the writing task of TOEFL and TEM-8, tried to analyze cultural differences reflected in those two exams, and to put forth some suggestions in English teaching of higher education in China. Based on the research, Chinese higher education on English should strike balance between linguistic foundation and comprehensive ability, autonomous learning and class teaching, and cultural competence and language competence.
