The relevance of this work is determined by the real problems of foreign students’ adaptation to the educational environment of Turkish Universities.

Culturally, they need to confront the different ways of thinking and doing in the Turkey. In order to overcome these challenges, students have adopted some reasonable resources that mainly are derived from the universities and outside universities to overcome these challenges. Thus, as demonstrated in this study, having a better understanding of these students’ academic challenges, university faculty and staff can recognize students’ needs and effectively offer supportive campus resources and services. The university needs to be prepared to meet students not only academically but also socially and culturally. This study also suggests that some preparations need to be made by the university that will embrace international students upon their arrival.Yayın International students’ adjustment challenges(Nobel, 2022) Nazir, Thseen; Nazir, Thseen; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık BölümüStudying as an international student and living in a multicultural environment bring enormous opportunities and learning. A better education, a prestigious life, scholarship options, and the option to learn a new language and to know about a different culture undoubtedly make studying abroad an attractive offer.

To avoid feeling like outsiders, we need to adjust to the new conditions without sacrificing our mental health. In the same way, encountering novel conditions can cause a feeling of disappointment, discouragement, or regret. The truth is, my friends, these are all part of the process, don’t worry! Based on the research conducted in Turkey, this book aims to explain that the adjustment process takes time. Facing adjustment issues is an expected and essential part of your lifelong journey. In this book, international students will find similar experiences they encountered during their journey, and others who think of studying abroad will get an idea about how things work. In addition to international students, this book will give a lot of understanding to academicians and concerned authorities dealing with international students and will help them improve the experience of international students within Türkiye.Yayın Adjustment challenges and coping strategies of Arab female international university students(Frontiers, 2023) Nazir, Thseen; Özçiçek, Ayşe; Lilla, Nanine; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık BölümüOver the past decade, Türkiye has experienced an increasing influx of international students, particularly from various Arab countries.

This influx of international students brings huge challenges to universities in terms of adjustment issues as these international students come from diverse backgrounds and cultures. This diversity on one side brings multiculturalism and opportunities to the campus but on another side, it brings diverse challenges in terms of academics, sociocultural, and personal fronts. These international students every day face numerous challenges to adapt to their full potential and adjust to their new environment. One of the biggest and key challenges for international students in Turkey is the Turkish language. In this study, International students were examined in terms of the Language barrier and language-related issues which they face on-campus as well as off-campus and how this language issue leads them to stress. The study used a mixed design method in which a survey questionnaire was used to understand the languagerelated issues and stress, and detailed interviews were conducted to get a better understanding of the language challenges among international students. The study found that language is one of the root causes of stress among International students in the beginning year and majority of the students feel incompetent in academic language which makes them feel isolated, stressed, depressed, and affecting their overall mental health. Interviews also revealed that the majority of students felt that one year of Tömer is not enough to have competent command of academic language. Interviews also revealed that language issues include writing skills, reading skills, understanding academic language, local accents, and understanding and participating in lectures, seminars, and extra co-curricular activities. The transit from Tömer to University life is the hardest and there is very little support from Universities during that phase and there is a strong need to create support from universities for International students.
