Zadání práce
The population of international students is growing day by day. Today, many universities in every country provide and promote a diversity of exchange programs and grants for their students. All those exchanges are a sign of the fact that the world is becoming more globalized. In order to meet and handle new experiences successfully, students must be well integrated in the new environment. Being far from home, many international students face challenges and difficulties on the way to their socio–cultural adjustment. Hence, together with the opportunities of studying abroad, there is also a growing amount of research regarding the issues and obstacles that international students encounter. In order to explore this topic, I use face-to-face interviews with international students. Through the interviews and analyses, I answer my main research question: “How do international students experience their socio-cultural adjustment?” The results of the research would help to bring us to a better understanding of what challenges or difficulties foreign students face on the way to their socio–cultural adjustment.
