Abstract: Culture can be conceptualized as a reservoir of resources and ways of thinking, acting, interacting and meaning-making. Children of migrated families tend to treasure their own ethnic cultures and traditions as well as learn and adapt to their host country’s cultures and traditions. Here language and cross cultural understanding (Ward and Kennedy, 1993; Kubota R., 2004; Wiggins B E., 2012; Gandana & Parr, 2013; Garcia, A C., 2014) play a critical role and a bridge between the immigrated communities and host communities. This study aims to explore the cross cultural understanding among the South Asian diasporic students who have grown up in Hong Kong and are studying in Hong Kong tertiary institutions.
