“…The spread of the practice of educating foreign students in a distance learning format raises new questions about educational integration. Researchers note that the advantages of distance learning are: lower cost, a large number of opportunities for students and teachers, easier and faster access to information, simplicity, and speed of its dissemination [23] , and better opportunities for academic mobility [24] . However, issues of socio-cultural integration of foreign students who study online and its impact on academic success are poorly studied.…”

The study aims to examine the integration of foreign students who are studying in a distance learning format into the educational process of a Russian university. A mixed-methods approach, involving quantitative data collection (survey and data analysis) and qualitative methods (interviews), was used. Data analysis was conducted using inferential statistics. The study included 103 first-year foreign freshman students (from Uzbekistan, China, Haiti, and Sri Lanka) who were studying remotely at Smolensk State University. The authors identified four interrelated elements of educational integration: technological, academic, sociocultural, and psychological. The combination of their indicators (mastery of the distance learning platform, need for university support, academic performance, proficiency in the Russian language, sociocultural adaptation, satisfaction with learning, etc.) generally demonstrates the successful integration of foreign students into the educational process, while also revealing some differences among representatives of different countries. It was also found that the distance learning format does not significantly reduce the impact of sociocultural integration on academic performance: language and cultural difficulties can negatively affect academic performance. In turn, experience in distance learning, good proficiency in Russian, completion of the curriculum, and participation in activities that develop intercultural competencies ensure successful educational integration.

“…In view of demographic changes and increasing proportions of adults with migration background (e.g., in 2017, over 60% of individuals arriving in Germany were over 25 years old, Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community 2019), the increasing interest in adults with migration background and their integration does justice to the immigrants' age structure. Moreover, scholars argue for the potential of ALE, e.g., language courses, work-related courses or leisure courses promoting interactions between people with and without a migration background, to support integration (Ager and Strang 2008), and to impact immigrants' sense of belonging (Granderath et al 2020) and subjective well-being (Angelini et al 2015). However, apart from few exceptions, research on the effects of ALE participation on subjective integration indicators is only sparse.…”

Beyond formal education, continuing adult learning and education (ALE) is considered as successful means for supporting immigrants’ integration into the receiving society. Although recently, subjective parameters of immigrants’ integration (e.g., life satisfaction) have received increasing academic attention, research on the impact of education on subjective integration indicators is still rare. To address this, the present study contributes to the literature by investigating the effect of ALE participation on life satisfaction in a longitudinal design. The study compares the effect for the group of immigrants with the group of natives in order to estimate whether the potential education effect on life satisfaction is equally strong for both groups or stronger for the group of immigrants (interaction effect). For this, the study uses seven waves of panel data from the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) with N = 6386 individuals, of which N = 1002 individuals have a migration background. Methodologically, a Random Intercepts Cross-Lagged Panel Model is applied. This allows distinguishing within-person fluctuations from trait-like between-person differences. On the between-person level, we find a significant link between ALE participation and life satisfaction for both immigrants and natives. However, on the within-person level, no significant cross-lagged effects are observed. Moreover, we find no support for an immigrant-native gap in life satisfaction.
