Abstract
This reflection analyzes the perspectives of two doctoral students, Chinese and Italian, who are international students and conduct research in the United States. Moreover, this reflection conducts Kolb’s (1984) model of experiential learning, aims to draw comparisons to our respective intercultural learning and living experiences, and highlights how intertwined we are despite different cultural backgrounds. Moreover, the reflection helps to explain better and understand our variable intercultural experiences and comes out with a conclusion that understanding ourselves as the first step to improve intercultural competence.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
