Abstract:

Explores the experience of being an international student in higher education

*Captures the full temporal range of the international student experience,
from the decision to study abroad to the longer-term outcomes

*Draws together findings from across a range of areas including social
psychology, education, applied linguistics and intercultural communication
studies

*Explores the international student experience and how it might be understood
as an academic, psychological and sociocultural phenomenon of adjustment and
adaptation

*Provides a researcher toolkit showcasing a combination of quantitative and
qualitative approaches, enabling researchers to study both processes and
outcomes of intercultural transition in higher education

Universities are among the most dynamic contemporary arenas for intercultural
contact, and one of the most interesting phenomena for social interaction
studies, both conceptually and empirically. There are around four million
people worldwide studying abroad, with numbers growing. These international
student sojourns are, first and foremost, social experiences, with social
interaction being both a success factor for and outcome of intercultural
transition. But what’s it like being an ‘international’ student? How is the
experience different from studying ‘at home’, and what might make it a
success, or otherwise? This volume details how recent research has attempted
to answer these questions and others related to the transition between
different national learning environments, and shows how it is helping to
inform debates, policy and practice on the international student experience.
