Unit 2Understanding each other
Cultural Shock文化冲击
As more and more international students travel to other countries, hoping to expand both their academic knowledge and their knowledge of the world, all international students will feel culture shock at some point and to varying degrees. Therefore, advisers must understand the cultural and individual characteristics that influence a student’s experience of culture shock.
In a research, there are four stages of cultural adjustment, including the Honeymoon Stage, the Culture Shock Stage, the Gradual Adjustment Stage and the Adaptation Stage.
In each of the stage, advisers should offer different helps. At first stage, advisers can prepare students for what they might experience and create opportunities for them to begin learning the new social rules as quickly as possible. At second stage, advisers may need to direct students to international student services or counseling resources on campus. At third stage, advisers can recognize students in this stage because they will want to talk about the differences they have noticed and share stories about their experiences. And at last stage, students who have reached this stage can help advisers who are working with students that are still experiencing culture shock.
