Abstract

The major purpose of this research is to investigate the problems encountered by Chinese international students studying in Australia in their life and academic adaptations. This study utilizes a questionnaire to collect the experience and perception of 30 Chinese international students on their sojourn in Australia. The results indicate that, for life adaptation, international students faced difficulties in diet, transportation, medical system, and social interaction. For academic adaptation, in Australian classrooms with different teaching styles and collapse of cultures, many international students still followed their way of teacher-student interaction and learning in China. Corresponding solutions were provided in this paper for these problems in 6 dimensions.
