Abstract

Being an international student is an excellent opportunity for students not only to study at the university in the intended country but also to learn and to adapt themselves to the country's culture. This qualitative study is aimed to investigating culture shocks experienced by students of West Nusa Tenggara studying overseas. It is intended to answer two research questions: 1) What kinds of culture shock were experienced by West Nusa Tenggara students studying abroad?; 2) How do West Nusa Tenggara students deal with culture shock experience in the foreign country they live in?. Data were collected by distributing a questionnaire to 20 respondents and conducting an interview to 5 available respondents. Data were analyzed by categorizing information and sorting out similar information. The findings showed that the students experienced various kinds of culture shock: verbal and non-verbal communication; weather and time differences; traditions; religious life; and food. To deal with culture shock, the students did various ways such as by asking for explanations, using translation tools and gestures to deal with communication problems, adapting to the environment, respecting the host country's culture, finding places to perform the prayer, and choosing food carefully to ensure the foods are halal.
