Traditional research on cultural adjustment focuses on the sojourner{\textquoteright}s experience within a foreign country. Sojourners never travel or move into a vacuum, however, and the missing component of such a focus is the experience of those who come into contact with these sojourners. In order to demonstrate the need to expand research on cultural adaptation, results from a case study are presented. The context for the case study is English language education in South Korea. Narratives of experience were collected from 26 South Korean university students based on their interaction with native-English-speaking teachers. Results demonstrate that students experience aspects of cultural adjustment when involved in interactions within the classroom setting.

"Internationalization" has become a popular term in U.S. higher education. Some internationalization efforts shift the focus from enrolling students in study abroad programs to using what happens domestically, a concept called Internationalization at Home (IaH). In order to implement effective IaH efforts, considering how a specific study body conceptualizes an intercultural encounter is helpful. Through the collection of 32 narratives of U.S. students{\textquoteright} experiences, this study investigates how participants at a largely culturally homogeneous university define themselves as culturally distinct from others during what they categorize as an intercultural encounter. The results indicate two main ways participants designate cultural difference, that of national identity and that of racial or ethnic identity. These ways of designating cultural difference indicate a master narrative of what an intercultural encounter is, typically exotic, short-term, impersonal, and often linked to travel. Identifying this master narrative of intercultural interactions provides insights for the development of IaH curriculum and training.
