This book by Leo Hitchcock explores the intricacies of cultural adaptation experienced by individuals participating in study abroad programs. It delves into the concept of 'culture' and intercultural competence (IcC), offering a theoretical framework for understanding these phenomena. Through a research-based approach, the book examines the adaptation experiences of sojourners, highlighting how they learn to navigate different cultural dimensions such as language, social networks, food rituals, and educational systems. Hitchcock introduces a model for experiential cultural adaptation, providing insights into the processes that facilitate or hinder intercultural competence. The book is intended for educators, researchers, and students interested in cultural studies and international education, aiming to enhance understanding of cultural immersion and adaptation processes.

International Student Mobility presents an autoethnographic study, which follows a group of non-English speaking international students from Taiwan during a period of study in Australia. The study examines the ways in which the students’ sense of identity shifts over time, and why this happens.Hsieh engages Pierre Bourdieu’s notions of capital, habitus and field to develop an understanding of complexity of identity movements and asks to what extent the students see themselves as culturally and linguistically ‘international’, both during their time abroad and upon their return home.Perfect for researchers and advanced students interested in international higher education, International Student Mobility is also an insightful read for those investigating the experiences of Chinese-speaking international students.
