Culture Shock Descriptions by Chinese Students Studying in Russia

The growing number of students seeking education overseas influences economies, and the exploration of sociocultural adaptation among international students, with culture shock as an inherent element, is gaining prominence due to nations efforts to improve their competitiveness in attracting international learners. Nevertheless, the issues contributing to culture shock in non-Anglophone countries, including the experience of culture shock among Asian students, have not been adequately addressed in scholarly research. This study aims to examine culture shock experienced by Chinese students studying in Russia.
