Abstract


With the process of internationalization of higher education, the education of international students in China has had an unprecedented development, with a lot of data reaching the historical highest records, including the total number of students, the number of countries or regions that international students came from, the number of schools or units that accept students and so on. In addition, the choosing range of profession is constantly expanding, and the international degree students are increasing. Some new problems are arisen in the learning, living and cultural adaptation issues of the increasing international students.International students’ life experience in China is a cross-cultural learning process, which has an important significance for the students and the host country. To describe and analyze this cross-cultural learning progress, a series of observations and interviews with 9 international students in China are carried out. The thesis not only reports the reality of international students’ learning, living and communication, but also reflects their inner world in the process of cross-cultural learning.After a period of learning life in China, the international students have undergone significant changes in many aspects of cognition, emotion and behavior. When they first come to China, they know very little of China, don’t like China and are not accustomed to the life in China. But now, they know more about China and Chinese, are not willing to leave, getting used to the life in China. Their abilities of cross-cultural learning have improved. To help students achieve a successful cross-cultural learning, the staff members of international students management must improve their management quality. Firstly, we should provide more convenient exchange information and implement "no difference" management between international students and Chinese students to grow cognitive; Secondly, establish a triangle Consortium of universities, community and government to provide emotional support; Last but not the least, provide more effective assistance programs and try a more flexible cross-cultural teaching to train their adaptation behavior. Cross-cultural learning requires communication between students and the host country. With the advent of the globalization age, carrying out cross-cultural education has become an important task to adapt the multicultural world.
