What happens when East travels
West? In today's increasingly globalized world, these collisions are becoming increasingly common in universities- especially due to the growth of migratory students . As the largest
international population studying abroad in the world, Chinese students'
learning experience in an intercultural environment calls for more attention. This
book covers an array of problems common to Chinese students studying
abroad and explores how these students academically adjust to an intercultural environment. It also highlights how they familiarize themselves with the education system, ranging from the types of courses, academic tasks and examinations to the structure of the education as a whole in the
host country, as they negotiate the gulf between academic expectations at home versus
those in the host university environment and communicate with domestic lecturers
and students.
