摘　　要：This paper gives ESL/EFL teachers or students insights into cultural differences between Chinese and American with special reference to differences of classroom teachings in these two large countries. Many examples, collected through interviews and conferences, are provided to illustrate that Chinese classroom teaching is greatly influenced by Confucianism hierarchy and American classroom teaching by Egalitarianism. The main point of this research is that ESL/EFL teachers should carefully consider the different styles, behaviors and strategies of the students from different cultural backgrounds when preparing, teaching and evaluating their students.
