Özet:

With the globalization, new opportunities have emerged in the socio-cultural field. One of these is that students can be incorporated into new cultures through different programs. Foreign students must be reduced to their inter-cultural communication concerns and high levels of socio-cultural adaptation in order to be able to successfully continue their educational process within the community they include. In this study, the relationship between anxiety and adaptation levels of foreign citizens studying at Hatay Mustafa Kemal University was studied. The data obtained from a field research that covered 205 students show that foreign students have a negative relationship between intercultural communication concerns and levels of socio-cultural adaptation.
