Library's collection Library's IT development CancelStenden University accepts major international students, also Chinese
students. Throughout practice period, most of the Chinese students acknowledge
that they found difficulties. This research is to investigate whether there are some
influences by the culture, which the Chinese students brought towards difficulties
during the practice time.
In order to develop research in student?s experiences, researchers use
qualitative approach by interview towards the students. This study focused on
Chinese students, which were doing their practice in Stenden University and
Wyswert Hotel, especially the International Hospitality Management (IHM).
As result, the research founds that there is culture influence during the
Chinese students practice time. Culture barrier founded not only on basic skills of
the Chinese students, but also on their relationship, communication style, and
language. And this might caused that they are not familiar with the Dutch culture,
and thus caused difficulties for them during practice and assessment. The work of
this research is using theoretical part about cross-culture, Chinese culture, and
Dutch culture.
