4. To know if international students use marginalization
5.2 CONCLUSION
overseas students in Germany, and their research results showed that assimilation and separation were the most frequently selected strategies.
in this country easily if they perceived they held ICC. It also contributed to the host program and university to organize ICC and acculturation training programs for local and international lecturers and offer a practical Thai language as an elective course to assist international students in learning Thai language and culture more effectively, allowing them to better adapt to study and live in Thailand.
In the meantime, the commonalities can be summarized from the interview on acculturation strategies as written below:
1) All the bilingual education students interviewed believe that cultural values cannot be compared, they have different strengths and weaknesses, and no one is better.
2) All the bilingual education students interviewed said that they did not reject any kind of cultural values, believing that each culture has its advantages and disadvantages, but that they should take its essence and discard its dross.
3) All the bilingual education students interviewed believed that cultural values could not be changed easily, and their formation had specific historical and realistic reasons.
4) All the bilingual education students interviewed believe that Thai culture is very inclusive, and all kinds of cultures are respected in Thailand.
5.2.1. Recommendations for further studies
The result of the study can recommend for the further research that:
This research is to explore bilingual education students’ Intercultural Communication Competence perceptions and acculturation strategies that bilingual education students use in Thailand. Therefore, future research can advance the research from the following aspects.
5.2.1.1 It may advance the research on the perception of ICC and acculturation strategies of university students in other universities in Thailand to see if
there are similarities and differences with the results of this study, since this study only investigated one university in Thailand.
5.2.1.2 The participants in this study are only students who majoring in bilingual education; therefore, the future research can involve more students in Thailand with more majors to see their understanding and perception of ICC and acculturation strategies in Thailand so that the research results can be generalized and can even be extended to international students throughout Thailand.
5.2.1.3 Another suggestion for further research is to involve more participants when doing quantitative research, since only 68 participants responded to the questionnaire in this study. The overall number is small, and the population distribution is uneven, because most of them are Chinese students.
5.2.1.4 When conducting qualitative research on participants, researchers can involve more participants from different countries, at least 3- 5 people, so that you can see the similarities or differences in the research. In this study, there are one student from Myanmar and one student from Nigeria, which may not be representative of all students from the same country, because other students from the same country may have different opinions.
5.2.1.5 This study used convenient sampling technique and cannot compare the data results. Therefore, future research can classify the participants according to nationality, gender or age so as to be able to compare different data results
