This issue explores the interplay between acculturative stress, social support, and acculturation modes, as well as academic writing challenges faced by graduate students in Malaysia. Other studies examine the influence of popular culture on study abroad participation, the promotion of critical thinking through interdisciplinary programs, and reflections of students upon returning from study abroad experiences.

Key articles analyze the impact of English proficiency on academic performance, compare engagement and satisfaction between international and American students, and highlight the experiences of American students in an Irish university. A narrative on community involvement in Tiffin, Ohio, and reviews of survival guides for international students provide practical and reflective insights. This volume is essential for advancing global understanding in international education.
