abstract |
In line with the aims of Section 2, this chapter explores international students’
transition experiences in China. The popularity of China as a study abroad destination
has been rising rapidly over the past decade (China Association for International
Education) (see Figure 8.1). The data show that international students studying in
China in 2013 came from over 200 different countries, and Asian countries represented
over 60% of the total international student enrolment. However, the number of international
students from Africa and Europe has seen the fastest growth (see Table 8.1). There
are three factors that might contribute to this latest trend. First, with the rise
of higher education internationalisation, more students opt to study overseas in order
to enhance their learning experience, feel the pulse of different cultures, and obtain
a competitive advantage by having an international expertise (Institute of International
Education, 2013; Sherry, Thomas, & Chui, 2010; Zhou, Jindal-Snape, Topping, & Todman,
2008). Second, the increasing economic power of China has made it more attractive
for prospective international students. Third, the Chinese government has started
a more active marketing strategy to promote studying in China, such as offering more
government scholarships and launching more international cooperative programmes (China
Scholarship Council, 2012). |
