中国留学生在德国的社会融入研究——语言水平、授课语言和社会文化适应的影响

Chinese Students in Germany:The Role of Language Proficiency,Course Language and Socio‑Cultural Adaptation for Social Integration

中国学生是德国高校里仅次于印度学生的第二大留学生群体。本研究探讨了中国留学生在大学学习期间的社会融入问题。数据来源于德国范围内的纵向研究,即国际学生调查,包括第一学期和第四学期的定量与定性评估。调查结果清楚地表明,与其他来自亚洲的留学生相比,中国学生的社会融入度还有待提高,特别是在德语授课的专业中。授课语言的掌握程度和社会文化适应性也是重要的影响因素。相比之下,英语授课的专业更易促进学生的社会融入。研究建议,在整个学业期间实施有针对性的支持措施,以促进跨文化交流,从而提高中国学生在德国的社会融入能力和学业成功。

Chinese students are the second largest group after Indian students at German universities.This study addresses the crucial issue of social integration among Chinese students during their studies.The data is based on the Germany‑wide longitudinal study,namely the International Student Survey,including both quantitative and qualitative evaluations for the first and fourth semesters.The results clearly show that Chinese students are less socially integrated than other Asian students,especially in German‑language degree courses.Other significant influencing factors are the course‑related language skills and socio-cultural adaptation.This English study program promotes social integration more strongly than German‑language programs.The study recommends targeted support measures to intercultural exchange throughout the entire course of study so as to promote the social integration and academic success of Chinese students in Germany.
