When you experience a new culture, you may feel confused, uncertain or even anxious. Let’s explore why we have such feelings and how they change over time.
Culture shock
If you travel to a foreign country, you may feel confused, strange or anxious. This feeling is called “culture shock”. People experience culture shock for different reasons. They may not know the language or local culture. They may also miss their families and friends at home. Culture shock usually follows four phases, also known as “the model of cultural adjustment”.
1. The Honeymoon Phase
It is exciting to arrive in a foreign country. Everything is new and unfamiliar, and it is fun to explore the new place and learn about the local culture.
2. The Negotiation Phase
After a while, you begin to feel unhappy about life in the new country. Everything feels difficult, and you get angry or sad very easily. You find it difficult to communicate with people around you. You may get really homesick and lonely.
3. The Adjustment Phase
During this phase, you slowly start to deal with the difficulties. You know what to expect in most situations and the host country no longer feels all that new. You start to accept the local culture, and you also learn how to deal with the things you do not like.
4. The Adaptation Phase
You finally begin to feel at home in the new culture, and the cultural differences are not a big problem any more.
It can be hard to adjust when you return to your home country after you have been away for a long time. Some people experience a new culture shock when they come back home. This is called reverse culture shock.
Skim the article on page 78 and answer the questions.

Role-Play Game
Step 1: Prepare
Form groups of four.
Each group picks one stage of culture shock and creates a scenario. For example:
Kate is an exchange student. She is unhappy because she finds hard to communicate with the local people. Now, Kate is asking a friend for advice.
Prepare a role-play based on this scenario.
Step 2: Role-play the scenario
Role-play the scenario in front of the class.
The other students should guess what stage of culture shock this is. Then they should try to give helpful advice.
