Journal: Journal of Higher Education Research DOI: 10.32629/jher.v6i2.3930
Abstract
China's expanding influence in the world has attracted more and more international students to study in China. Due to the differences in language, culture, values and lifestyle between different countries, international students are bound to face a series of problems when adapting to cross-cultural communication. This research analyzes the cross-cultural communication adaptation of international students in China through a questionnaire survey, including social adaptation, psychological adaptation and academic adaptation, and tries to propose strategies to improve the cross-cultural communication adaptation of international students through the research results.
