5.3 Recommendations for Further Research 
The present study was conducted in North Cyprus in Fall semester 2014/2015 
session with three faculties of the institution; Business and Economics, 
Communication and Media Studies and Engineering. Further studies should be 
conducted with the whole North Cyprus with faculties in different universities picked 
for the study. In another vein, interpersonal communication strategies Nigerian 
students coped with when they experience cultural shock in arriving North Cyprus is 
a good topic to embark on since most immigrants experience this state of confusion 
and uneasy feeling getting to a new environment. In another vein, interpersonal 
communication strategies among international students of the institution is a good 
sphere of knowledge in the sense that a research on international students affects 
students from over 95 countries represented as the number of international students 
of the school as at the time this present research was done reads. A research like that 
will be more beneficial to the whole international student community of Eastern 
Mediterranean University, Famagusta, North Cyprus. 
The authorities of Eastern Mediterranean University should take measures to ease 
interpersonal communication of international students with the host community. The 
university community as over flogged by this study has students from over 96 
countries all over the world and how they cope with the host community should be 
well managed by the institution. The university can incorporate voluntary 
introduction to Basic Turkish language into the curriculum of Masters and Ph.D.

program. This course will contain the use of verbal and nonverbal communication in 
Turkish language. The university can organize more social activities to integrate and 
enhance the relationship between the Turkish and non-Turkish students. The value 
and essence of nonverbal communication as found out from this study shows that the 
importance of nonverbal cues cannot be underestimated. A special nonverbal 
communication course can also be incorporated for the year one students in the 
university and it sincerely will be a blessing to the institution. It will also show other 
universities, government agencies, N.G.O’s and prospective students of how much is 
invested in student’s welfare in Eastern Mediterranean University which I think is a 
plus to the university.
