Abstract

The number of international students studying in Mainland China was comparatively small three decades ago. However, more international students have chosen to study Chinese language and culture in Mainland China due to its booming economy and flourishing employment opportunities in the last ten years. Bevis (2014) informs that the number of American students choosing to study in colleges and universities across Mainland China is quickly rising. Many international students have become interested in studying and living in Mainland China especially after the 2008 Beijing Olympics
