A Journey of Intercultural and Learning Adaptation: International Students' Learning Experiences at One Australian University

This article focuses on the pervasive impact of culture on language and learning with the acknowledgment of individual differences. It explores international students‟ complex cultural and learning adaptation processes with a case-study approach consisting of participant observation, a questionnaire and in-depth interviewing. My findings suggest that international students, especially those whose native languages are not English do face a broad range of difficulties with their learning, which implies a continuous demand of appropriate assistance from their host countries for their learning adaptations.
