Stories of Student Adaptation

Descrição: Although researchers have been probing theexperiences and adaptation processes of internationalstudents for decades, few studies have attempted tocapture the lived experiences of these students inthe students own words. Much of the research viewsinternational students as a homogenous group,disregarding the role an individuals background andpersonal experiences play in the adaptation processof living and studying abroad. This book explores theadaptation processes of four South Korean students byasking each student to share his or her lived-storynarrative in his or her own words with limitedediting and revision of each students words. Bylimiting the focus to South Korean students, thisbook aims to examine the extent to which theexperiences and adaptation processes of an assumedhomogenous group actually differ or overlap. Thestories shared by these students illuminate part ofthe range of experiences that international studentsface while living and studying in the United States.Such stories provide insight for present or futureinternational students, instructors working withinternational students, and administrators ofinternational student programs.
