- W2743530379 abstract "This thesis uses a qualitative, cultural-analytical approach to explore the cultural integration of international students at a Swedish University, focusing on behavioural communication. Misunderstandings in daily social interactions can have a negative impact on international students’ personal experience, causing frustration and potentially impacting well-being. Being a rather elusive part of intercultural communication, underlying rules of conduct are rarely addressed in advice for integration offered by hosting institutions.Using Lund University and its environment as an example, this study uncovers unexpected misunderstandings in intercultural communication. Especially the international students’ perspective is highlighted, using mainly semi-structured interviews, as well as auto-ethnographical and observational methods. Throughout the paper, the following research questions are in focus: What issues related to behavioural communication do international students at Lund University experience? How can these be understood in relation to cultural context? How could cultural integration be facilitated? To inform the empirical material, theories of social interaction, namely Erving Goffman’s idea of interaction ritual and Edward T. Hall’s research on intercultural communication are applied, relating behavioural communication to a cultural context. Addressing the need for more cultural empathy, the paper discusses practical steps that could facilitate the interaction with foreign cultural behaviour. Results suggest that the development of cross-cultural competence using training tools like the Lewis-model, paired with constant application to own experiences could facilitate the process of cultural integration for international students. This entails that a university can take an active approach towards the issues illuminated in this thesis." @default.
