Abstract

Research has shown that Generation-Z is much more eager to include global education in their lives. The experience of studying in another culture, especially in an international context, is seen as a necessity. The most popular study destination for international students worldwide has traditionally been countries where English is spoken as a native language. In more recent years, however, non-English-speaking countries are also offering global education and have attracted international students. This research aims to reveal the experiences of international students in nonEnglish- speaking countries. Following an empirical viewpoint, six Indonesian undergraduate students at a selected university in Japan were surveyed and interviewed on what attracts them, their motivations, challenges and expectations for studying in Japan. The findings suggest that culture, language, and quality of education are important motivations for choosing to study in Japan. During their first year, these international students face a number of academic, cultural, and linguistic challenges. However they have no reservations about their future careers in the global world despite being educated in non-native English-speaking country. These findings may provide an updated overview of the underlying factors that prompt international students to study in non-English-speaking countries.
