COVID-19 has shed a light on what it is like to be international students and the issues that they face in higher education (Cheung, 2020). Although there has already been a burgeoning literature on international students’ experiences, research in this area is largely fragmented and under-theorised, since different research fields (e.g. cultural studies, applied linguistics, social psychology, and educational research) have adopted different approaches to investigate international student mobility. Schartner and Young integrates a number of theoretical and methodological approaches to address this issue by presenting a conceptual model and empirical findings on the multifaceted experiences of mobile students, based on a research project in British higher education. The book comprises three parts. Part 1 addresses the theoretical and methodological approaches of the research project presented in the subject matter, Part 2 focuses on the empirical data informing the new model of international student experiences, and Part 3 explores the implications and applications of the findings. Throughout Chap. 1, the authors contextualise their study within the current political and social circumstances, providing a rationale for how ecumenical approaches to interculturality best fulfil their research purposes. The introductory chapter also clarifies the meaning of keywords, such as ‘adjustment’ and ‘adaptation’, which have been used ambiguously by earlier researchers. Chapter 2 outlines previous research on the transitional experiences of international students. It explores the multifaceted nature of the issue, which requires academic, psychological, and sociocultural adjustment/adaptation. The chapter also summarises earlier findings on the major factors including linguistic and sociocultural resources that contribute to the successful transition of mobile students. The authors turn to a methodological discussion in Chap. 3 and emphasise how a mixed-method design can (1) address the dichotomy between positivist and interpretivist approaches to intercultural research and (2) synthesise both adjustment and adaptation, the process and outcome of transition. Chapters 4–8 provide empirical data, both quantitative and qualitative, on the adjustment and adaptation experiences of international postgraduate students, which were

Alina Schartner,Tony J. Young:高等教育的跨文化转型:国际学生的适应与适应

COVID-19揭示了成为国际学生的感觉以及他们在高等教育中面临的问题(Cheung,2020年)。尽管已经有关于国际学生经验的新兴文献,但是由于不同的研究领域(例如文化研究,应用语言学,社会心理学和教育研究)采用了不同的方法,因此该领域的研究在很大程度上是零散的和理论化的。调查国际学生的流动性。Schartner and Young基于英国高等教育的一项研究项目,通过提出有关流动学生多方面经历的概念模型和实证研究结果,整合了许多理论和方法论方法来解决这一问题。这本书包括三个部分。第1部分论述了该主题中提出的研究项目的理论和方法论方法,第2部分着重于为国际学生体验新模型提供信息的经验数据,第3部分则探讨了研究结果的含义和应用。整个章节。如图1所示,作者在当前的政治和社会环境中对研究进行了情境化,从而为普遍主义的跨文化方法如何最好地实现其研究目的提供了理论依据。引言一章还阐明了关键字的含义,例如“调整”和“适应”,这已被早期研究人员所使用。第2章概述了以前关于国际学生过渡经历的研究。它探讨了问题的多面性,这需要学术,心理,以及社会文化的调整/适应。本章还总结了有关主要因素的较早发现,这些因素包括语言和社会文化资源,这些因素有助于流动学生的成功过渡。作者转向第一章的方法论讨论。3并强调混合方法设计如何(1)解决跨文化研究的实证主义和解释主义方法之间的二分法,以及(2)综合调整和适应,过渡的过程和结果。第4-8章提供了关于国际研究生的适应和适应经验的定量和定性的经验数据,分别是 本章还总结了有关主要因素的较早发现,这些因素包括语言和社会文化资源,这些因素有助于流动学生的成功过渡。作者转向第一章的方法论讨论。3并强调混合方法设计如何(1)解决跨文化研究的实证主义和解释主义方法之间的二分法,以及(2)综合调整和适应,过渡的过程和结果。第4-8章提供了关于国际研究生的适应和适应经验的定量和定性的经验数据,分别是 本章还总结了有关主要因素的较早发现,这些因素包括语言和社会文化资源,这些因素有助于流动学生的成功过渡。作者转向第一章的方法论讨论。3并强调混合方法设计如何(1)解决跨文化研究的实证主义和解释主义方法之间的二分法,以及(2)综合调整和适应,过渡的过程和结果。第4-8章提供了关于国际研究生的适应和适应经验的定量和定性的经验数据,分别是 3并强调混合方法设计如何(1)解决跨文化研究的实证主义和解释主义方法之间的二分法,以及(2)综合调整和适应,过渡的过程和结果。第4-8章提供了关于国际研究生的适应和适应经验的定量和定性的经验数据,分别是 3并强调混合方法设计如何(1)解决跨文化研究的实证主义和解释主义方法之间的二分法,以及(2)综合调整和适应,过渡的过程和结果。第4-8章提供了关于国际研究生的适应和适应经验的定量和定性的经验数据,分别是
