What's Up with Culture?
— to explore culture further and more fully prepare
yourself for a cross-cultural experience on your study
abroad program. This website has modules for students who
are about to go abroad, for students while overseas
(preparing to re-enter) and students who have returned. If
you're feeling culture shock while abroad (homesickness,
uncomfortable feelings, lack of adjusting to host culture,
problems communicating, etc.) just go to the website and see
if that will help you sort things out. You may want to
analyze your own "critical incident" and see if you dealt
with it in the most effective way. Be sure to involve
others, particularly host country nationals, in seeking to
understand what happened. |
