With the deepening of the demand and degree of internationalization, the exchanges of different cultural backgrounds have gradually increased. In the process of language and cultural adaptation and assimilation of foreign students, cross-cultural differences and transformation have become the key issues for them to study and live in foreign countries. The very popular homestay is a popular choice for international students, and this type of accommodation is more common in the study experience of foreign students. Homestay is presented to overseas tourists in a family-oriented way, giving international students a home away from home and a warm experience, which is also an important reason for their popularity. Compared with foreign countries, domestic international students use this accommodation mode less, and mostly use the language partner mode. It is not only a teaching strategy, but also an indispensable cross-cultural communication experience for international students. This paper will conduct a comparative study on the two cultural integration modes of Homestay and language partner communication, and explore how to construct a student aid model with Chinese characteristics.
