Journal of International Students. 2026. Vol. 16. No. 8. P. 195–220.
Ulgen H.
This qualitative study examines how academic Russian, institutional conditions, and social support shape the academic adjustment of Turkish undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Russian-medium degree programs in Moscow. Drawing on phenomenologically informed semi-structured interviews with 15 students at three universities, the study employs reflexive thematic analysis and develops a study-specific 4A framework (Access, Amplification, Authentication, Awareness). The findings show that dense academic Russian, bureaucratic procedures, and instructor-centered classroom norms constrain participation, while peer networks and social support infrastructures help students navigate institutional expectations and sustain academic engagement. The study contributes to international student research by highlighting how linguistic regimes, institutional structures, and social support interact in non-Anglophone higher education contexts.

This Handbook examines relations between Japan and Korea from 1850 to the present.

This Handbook examines these relations in this age of modernity by dividing it into four periods: precolonial relations (1850–1905); colonial rule (1905–1945); post-war/post-liberation (1945–1965); ...
