Abstract

This study aims to explore the dynamics of adaptation among students participating in the Pertukaran Mahasiswa Merdeka (PMM) Program in Semarang, particularly in the Modul Nusantara activities. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, this study involved three participants who were interviewed using a semi-structured approach, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of the study indicate that the adaptation process of students follows the stages of Lysgaard's model (1955), namely honeymoon, crisis, recovery, and adjustment. In the initial stage, students prepare administratively, mentally, physically, and financially, and build expectations about the new culture. The honeymoon phase is characterized by enthusiasm for the local environment and culture, followed by the crisis phase, which brings about culture shock due to differences in language, food, and social norms. Recovery strategies include observation, asking questions, and building relationships with local students. In the final stage, students feel comfortable, consider the destination city as a second home, and appreciate diversity. The Nusantara module is deemed crucial in introducing local culture, fostering nationalism, and promoting tolerance. These findings underscore the role of PMM as an effective cross-cultural learning tool in the domestic Indonesian context.

Abstract

This study investigated the difficulties encountered by both high- and low-achieving EFL students when finishing the  Duolingo English Test (DET) Free Practice Version. applying a qualitative descriptive comparative design, data information was gathered using semi structured conversations with five students. Results indicate that although the DET platform was initially perceived as accessible and supported by clear instructions, students still experienced linguistic, technical, and psychological challenges. Limited vocabulary and grammar, time pressure, spontaneous responses in speaking and writing, and unstable connections were the most frequently reported difficulties, especially among low-achievers. High-achievers appeared more confident and employed more effective strategies, enabling them to better adapt to the adaptive test format. These results suggest that achievement level influences how students cope with the demands of digital assessments. This research highlights the requirement for focused preparation and improved methods support to help EFL learners better navigate DET tasks.

Abstract

The internal difficulties of Muhammadiyah University Kendari's BIPA program are examined in this descriptive qualitative study using case studies. The results point to three primary barriers: pedagogical proficiency and instructional materials, students' language skills (pronunciation and structuring), cultural adjustment, and facility limitations. To solve these challenges, educators, staff, and students can employ solution ideas to create implementative plans and tactical actions. This study develops strategic recommendations to enhance the program's efficacy through rigorous triangulation, document analysis, interviews, and participatory observation. This strengthening is essential as a tool of cultural diplomacy in the global arena to develop a creative, relevant, and adaptable learning ecosystem for international learners in the digital era, in addition to boosting the quality of education.

Abstract

In an era of increasing global student mobility, understanding cross-cultural adaptation is essential to ensure international students’ academic success, psychological well-being, and social integration. However, limited studies specifically explore Indonesian students’ lived experiences in short-term credit transfer programs within Southeast Asian contexts. This study investigates Indonesian students in the International Credit Transfer (ICT) program and their cross-cultural adaptation to cultural diversity in the Philippines. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that adaptation is a gradual process influenced by personal communication, host and ethnic interactions, environmental factors, and individual predispositions. Although students initially experienced language anxiety and low confidence, continuous English exposure, buddy systems, and inclusive campus environments facilitated academic and social adjustment. Ethnic networks provided emotional support while enabling integration with the host culture. The study highlights the importance of institutional support and individual readiness in promoting successful cross-cultural adaptation.
