Abstract

In general, it can be said that the problems experienced by immigrant students are due to cultural differences. Language problem arising from cultural differences also raises the problem of adaptation. In the report prepared by the European Commission, there are supports that can be stated as language support, academic support, family participation, intercultural adaptation and peer learning. The research aims to determine the adaptation model implemented by Turkey for newly arrived immigrant students. Within the scope of this research, interviews were held with school administrators and the support provided for newly arrived migrant students was determined, and Turkey-specific adaptation model was tried to be established.
