Abstract

From the perspective of situational communication, this paper aims to explore how to promote cultural integration and provide better educational services for international students in China. This paper first analyzes the basic assumptions and key factors of situational communication based on international students in China. Secondly, the relationship between situational communication and cultural integration and educational services for international students in China is discussed in depth. Additionally, the role of situational communication in educational services for international students in China, such as promoting cross-cultural communication, solving language barriers, and enhancing mutual understanding, is proposed. Lastly, from the perspective of situational communication, an optimization path of educational services and cultural integration for international students in China is proposed, including the provision of diversified educational resources, the enhancement of cross-cultural communication, and the establishment of an effective communication mechanism. This study expands the perspective of educational services for international students in China, provides a new theoretical framework and practical path, and offers a reference for promoting cultural integration and improving educational services for international students in China.
