بيئات التثاقف لدى الطلبة الأجـانب في مدرسة متوسطة بمدينة الرياض
The purpose of this study is to investigate the acculturation surroundings of international kids attending a middle school in Riyadh. The study was conducted on a purposive sample that the researcher selected because it was available and relevant to his work environment, and it included 44 non-Saudi students in the school out of 637 Saudi and non-Saudi students, divided into 44 non-Saudis (7%) and 593 Saudis. The researcher eliminated 14 Yemeni students because they resembled Saudi culture. Seven individuals declined to be interviewed at the request of their parents, which included four Syrians and three Egyptians. The actual sample was 23 participating who agreed to be interviewed. The researcher used the ethnographic approach to collect data. The researcher conducted individual interviews with all of the school's responders. Each interview lasted approximately 40-60 minutes. During the interview, the researcher employed deliberate observation, which lasted a set amount of time. The data was analyzed using acculturation as a conceptual framework, yielding several findings, the most noteworthy of which are formal and informal acculturation forms. On the one hand, formal examples include school hallways, morning announcements, field trips, and Saudi National Day. Friendship, recreation, ways of communication, traditional and virtual gaming settings, parks and restaurants, events and holidays, markets, and neighbors are all informal examples.
