"The book is based on careful empirical studies and makes both practical and theoretical contributions. It is particularly useful for educators and educational institutions to better understand the needs of international students and to create appropriate and effective instructional techniques. It is also an important read for scholars interested in broader questions concerning international education and intercultural exchange." (Lisong Liu, Journal of Chinese Overseas, Vol. 18 (2), 2022)
