Abstract
With an increasing number of Chinese students in Australia, they will face a lot of challenges in
social life and academic study in this country. This article explores the stressors that Chinese
students face while studying in Australia. It first introduces the English teaching within the Chinese
context, and secondly it moves to provide a framework of previous studies. Thirdly, three factors
have been generated based on the participants’ feedbacks, who believe those are the main factors
that hinder their study effectively in Australia. Lacking sufficient language skills result in difficulties in
the interaction between students and teachers, peer-cooperation, and a sense of social isolation.
Based on the findings, suggestions are provided on English Language training with effective teaching
methods used when they come to Australia.
