摘要

Abstract

In recent years

the number of foreign teachers in China has been surged. Taking a South African foreign teacher as an example

the author made a qualitative research on the cross-cultural adaptation of foreign teachers in China. Through the study of language discussions

it was found that China’s influence and attractiveness for foreign teachers has increased.

they are more adaptable to the public security and convenience of life in China

and the open-mindedness and diligent attitude of foreign teachers can help them adapt better. Some life support from the working school also eliminates the cultural shock phase. This study hopes to analyze the adaptability of foreign teachers in China through an example

in order to give more ideas to foreign teachers and employment schools.
