DOI: 10.23951/1609-624X-2017-5-111-115
The relevance of the theme is due to the increasing internationalization and academic mobility, on the one hand and the need to solve the problems of adaptation of foreign students in the new intercultural academic environment, on the other hand. At the same time, the provisions of the «National Doctrine of Education in the Russian Federation» emphasize the intensity of the international activities of the country’s leading universities. It includes the project of increasing the international competitiveness of the best Russian universities among the world’s leading research and education centers «5-100-2020» and its main aims. Consequently, optimizing these processes, it is necessary to take into account the individual features of adaptation of students for their successful integration in the intercultural environment. However, this aspect is not sufficiently studied in the current research. Therefore, it is necessary to study the specific problems of intercultural adaptation and to develop proposals for its implementation. The purpose of the given article is to present results of the study at the Ural Federal University to specify certain academic migration problems of adaptation. Based on the results, presented preliminary findings can provide some recommendations for the partial solution of adaptation problems in the intercultural academic environment: strengthening language training, foundations of the history of the host country’s culture, increasing attention to the organization of living conditions and professional motivation.
