ABSTRACT

With the development of globalization and the trend of internationalization of education, more and more students choose to study abroad, which makes cross-cultural communication and adaptability increasingly prominent. This paper makes an in-depth analysis of the actual experience and needs of international students in cross-cultural communication and adaptability. It is found that the cross-cultural adaptability of foreign students is influenced by multiple factors such as individual characteristics and external environment, and effective cross-cultural communication is the key to improve the adaptability of foreign students. However, due to cultural differences and language barriers, international students face many challenges in cross-cultural communication. Therefore, this study puts forward a series of strategies to improve the cross-cultural communication and adaptability of foreign students, including strengthening the training of cross-cultural communication ability, establishing an effective cross-cultural communication mechanism, improving the psychological adaptability of foreign students and strengthening the education of cultural sensitivity and adaptability. The results show that the implementation of these strategies can effectively improve the cross-cultural communication ability of foreign students, enhance their psychological adaptability, and thus better integrate into the new cultural environment. This will not only help improve the quality of study and life of international students, but also promote international exchanges and cooperation.
