Abstract

The article analyzes some of the cultural shocks Asian students experience both living in Australia and studying at Australian schools. It describes the transitions the Asian students face in the style of learning and presenting ideas. It suggests that culture shock is an inevitable part of students' experience in immersion programmes which should be perceived and involved as a part of the learning process.
