This study investigated a group of Chinese students' study and daily life experiences at a U.S.A. university. The study showed that, though Chinese students are capable of coping with English exams, they are quite weak in application. This was due to the differences between the Chinese and U.S.A. educational systems and concepts, as well as pedagogies. In their new study and living environment Chinese students experienced a hard time in adjusting themselves in English reading comprehension, academic study, utilization of campus equipment and services, and their social interaction with Americans. The result indicated the urgent necessity for China's TESOL field to divert English teaching from text-oriented learning to the improvement of students' application skills.
