According to our previous research no attempt was made to find a multiple regression model, and consequently a correlation between the personality trait of an introvert/extrovert, individual motivation and an approach to Russian language L2. After a general review of the literature, we mainly concerned English as a foreign language (ESL). A research was made through a survey of Italian students learning Russian L2 outside the language environment in Italy. Starting from their answers we made a suitable score system, thanks to which we made a distribution, graphical and descriptive function for all the three variables. Finally a multiple regression model is provided to make reconciliation among the variables with statistical estimators of reliability.

In the modern world, intercultural and international education is becoming more and more in demand. The number of exchange programs for students from different countries is growing every year; opportunities are opening up to receive education abroad and gain experience in intercultural communication. Like any changes, moving to a new language environment for a long time (from two to seven years, depending on the chosen degree of study) can cause several difficulties. The present work is devoted to a comparative analysis of students' main psycholinguistic problems in a new language environment. The object of this study is the process of adaptation of international students abroad. The research subject is psycholinguistic difficulties; this work aims to compare the psycholinguistic challenges faced by international students in a new language environment.
