With the increase in the number of Chinese students studying in China, it has become increasingly important to study the adaptability of Chinese students in the new cultural environment. The main content of this research is to explore the influence of language mastery, academic activities, and social relations on the adaptability of Chinese students in the UK from a cross-cultural perspective. This article uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze the existing literature, and concludes that: Chinese students have difficulties in language expression skills during their study abroad, but the new language environment still greatly improves the language of Chinese students. The process of Chinese students adapting to the British education system in cross-cultural adjustment is active and complicated, but however, there are individual differences in whether there are better academic performances, a good and stable teacher-student relationship is important for students to adapt to the new cultural environment positive influence, but to better integrate into the new cultural environment, students also need to overcome the obstacles of a strong co-national relationship. This article fills the gaps in the literature review on the adaptability of Chinese students in the UK from a cultural perspective. It combines predecessors’ research on Chinese students’ language mastery, academic performance, and adaptability of social relations from a cultural perspective, and summarizes the research on adaptability from a cultural perspective, laying an important foundation on future research in this field.
