CHAPTER VI
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS


Summary of Findings
This study aims (tense consistency) to know the factors affecting the adjustment period of a UPCC foreign student towards his/her school environment. The main problem of the study is furthermore divided into three sub problems. In this study, the teaching style or the education aspect, the language used in communication, and the cultural differences are evaluated as to how each affects the adjustment period of the foreign students in UPCC towards their new school environment.
This study evaluated (tense consistency) descriptively how language, cultural differences and teaching style affect the adjustment period of the UPCC foreign students towards their new school environment.
Based on the results of the questionnaire and the interviews conducted, most of the foreign students are contented with what UPCC has contributed in their education. Though there are a few who complained about the school’s cleanliness and convenience, they are most likely contented with their learning. Therefore, the teaching style of the school does not lengthen the adjustment period of the foreign students towards their new school environment.
On the other hand, the results regarding the language factor vary on every foreign student. There are a few students who aren’t fluent with the English language yet. While the others are quite fluent already, some feel disappointment or annoyed when they hear people talking in a language they don’t understand. It makes them feel uncomfortable. The language factor affects the adjustment period of some of the foreign students because it sometimes prevent them from interacting with the local students. In general, the foreign students are still undecided in their adjustment regarding the language factor.
Lastly, only a few of the foreign students have a difficulty in adjusting to the cultural differences between their home and host country. Most of them have already adjusted to the culture of the Philippines. Though there are a few who are still not used to the Philippines’ culture, generally, the cultural differences do not more or less affect the adjustment period of the foreign students.

Conclusion
According to the results, not all of the three factors considered in this study can affect the adjustment period of a foreign student. The teaching style does not greatly affect the adjustment period of the foreign students. On the other hand, the foreign students are still undecided whether they had already adjusted to the language or the communication of their new school environment. Furthermore, the foreign students in general are already adjusted to the cultural differences between the host and home country.
With this, we can say that language has something to do (vague) with a foreign student’s adjustment as he/she stays in his/her new school environment, while the teaching style and the cultural differences do not greatly affect the foreign students in UPCC.(why do you think so?what could be the reasons?)


Recommendations
It is recommended to the future researchers who will be interested in this research to further expand the scope of the study. More specific list of factors of adjustment will be produced if more factors will be considered. (what do you mean by this?) It will also generate better results if the number of respondents is large enough. (Also If possible, it is also recommended to study the country – its culture and traditions - in which the foreign students came from.(shortcut! Provide circumstances for each recommendation.itemize.one paragraph, one recommendation)
