Abstract
The primary purpose of this research is to determine what factors influence abroad students' capacity to adapt to university life. These issues include social support, curriculum design, teacher quality, learning motivation, self-efficacy, and the ability to adapt to diverse cultures. The academic adaption process is theoretically structured by developing a paradigm that includes AIGC acceptance as a moderator and self-efficacy as a mediating factor. The theoretical and empirical findings presented in the literature review emphasize the critical importance of an interdisciplinary, context-specific, multidimensional approach to understanding academic adaptation. In addition to validating the utility of the chosen frameworks, this synthesis highlights the paper's unique contribution in filling in the gaps. Foreign students face distinct problems in non-Western environments, such as China's university system, but there is a scarcity of research on this topic despite the development of international higher education. To overcome these gaps, this work uses two critical but previously unexplored components: the mediating effect of self-efficacy and the moderating influence of acceptance of AI-generated content (AIGC). These factors for academic adaptability are especially important when it comes to regional Chinese colleges. Academic success models have developed over time, with early models emphasizing AIGC, social support, learning motivation, self-efficacy, and cross-cultural adaptability, followed by a more recent emphasis on these characteristics. It is obvious that personal, societal, and institutional aspects influence international students' academic adaption as a result of these innovations' implementation. There appears to be a growing consensus regarding the significance of individualized education initiatives. The findings will ideally shed light on international students' academic adaptation and help those students work toward the ultimate goal of building a more inviting learning environment at regional Chinese colleges. (rewrite to address the factors stated below, it is just a conceptual for your future research).
