Research on Cultural Identity and Cultural Adaptability of Overseas Students in Jinan University
Abstract
Jinan University is China's first state-founded overseas Chinese university. Students attending Jinan University include a variety of cultural backgrounds. However, under the huge cultural background differences, oversea students generally face the issue of cultural adaptability. Through interviews and questionnaires, this paper found that the cultural adaptability of overseas students in Jinan University is not high enough, which is not a good signal, because for students themselves, it is not conducive to their own learning and living in schools.
