Abstract
Along with the quickening of economic globalization, English has gradually become an international language. China’s entry into the WTO has brought about significant opportunities for Chinese economy. Meanwhile, it poses higher requirements for English talents. What present society needs are comprehensive and practical English talents who have good ability in English listening, speaking, reading and writing. A good language testing system, to some extent, can determine how well language learners master a language and reflect their actual English level objectively.
With the rapid growth of our country’s national economy and the popularity of studying abroad in recent decades, IELTS has become increasingly well-known. As an international English language testing system, IELTS has the characteristics of being highly scientific, credible and objective. It is also considered by experts as the most dependable and effective testing system, which can exam the candidates’ actual ability to use English in an objective way.
However, English tests of our country mostly exam English language knowledge and limitedly focus on candidates’ listening, reading and writing skills. College English Education, therefore, is confined to the training of these three skills and overlooks that of speaking; accordingly mute English has become a common phenomenon among College students.
This paper analyzes the current situation of college English testing system in China, and compares and contrasts TEM-4 with IELTS. Based on the advantages and disadvantages of both, it sums up the existing problems of China's English Language Testing System. At the end of this paper, some suggestions for how to improve our English Language Testing System has been proposed. Simultaneously, it profoundly discusses what kind of English language testing system can meet today’s requirement for English talents.
