ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND ACCULTURATIVE STRESS: CHALLENGES FACED BY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN DELHI NCR

Abstract

The relationship between International Students’ academic performance in the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) and their experience with stress related to acculturation is the subject of this research. The major concern is to establish the concern through the research. The study found out these areas by subjecting the responding students to qualitative analysis regarding the issues they face and how they tackle them. Non-collaborative and individual, semi-structured interviews were used to administer the data among the 20 responding international students with diverse backgrounds. Consequently, the findings highlight social isolation, language integration, and culture as the main acculturative stress variables that affect academic performance. The report also goes to a great length to explain why specialized support services can help enhance the experiences of overseas learners in Delhi NCR.
