Intracultural and intercultural communication experience and lessons: the positive and the negative

Abstract

There is International students’ vast exchange between different countries and continents that needs a proper natural and social adaptation of the higher education foreign applicants. Every educational establishment must do all its best to reach it. We analyze some common and separate problems of adaptation in the foreign students in our and other educational establishments and proposed some pathways on its improving. In part we insist on essentiality to use maximal individual approach in educating the foreign applicants that is impossible to be reached without their typological belonging taking into consideration. Then there must be separate attention to well-adapted (and maximally shortened, with less text and more colored illustrations especially in the academic groups with the significant language barriers, for the left-handed students as it has been done in some countries) scientific literary sources, good managing the English and specialities by the tutors; the tutors’ getting acquaintance and managing General Psychology, Ethnophysiology, Ethnopsychology, Social Psychology including Differential Psychology (the separate science about inter-grouped and intra-grouped varieties), Age Psychology (because the students represent separate age category), Age Physiology, Cultural Psychology, Cross-Cultural Psychology (to understand mechanisms and pathways of cross- cultural adaptation of the foreign applicants and to cease it), Conflictology.
