摘要

As a participant in the project in which there are seven partner universities from England, Poland, Slovenia and Macedonia andudwhich is supported by the European Union, with this study I will try to gain an insight into the way of accepting new principles,udculture and living environment by the foreign students who attend the Course for learning Macedonian as a foreign language,udmost of which are Turkish students who study at Goce Delcev University in Stip, Macedonia. More precisely, the study will helpudus obtain information about their familiarization with and adjustment to the education system in Macedonia as well as acceptanceudof the new practices through their participation in the course, and familiarization with the administrative obligations to theuduniversity which apply to both home and foreign students. The multicultural environment makes all students equal, so thatudeveryone is motivated to learn the Macedonian language with the help of teachers of different nationalities. The importance ofudlearning the new language helps in creating a relaxed atmosphere in which students can get to know each other and respect theudculture of the other participants, which leads to successful multicultural education.
