Annotation: The article is devoted to the relevant problem of socio-cultural and psychological adaptation of foreign students entering Russian universities. The importance of adaptation is determined by its stable correlation with further education, its effectiveness. Based on the included observation and generalization of their own pedagogical experience, the authors of the article attempted to analyze the features of the adaptation process, which is an integral component of academic migration, and also described the tools developed for its mitigation. The results of the survey among foreign students based on the author’s questionnaire made it possible to establish the rela- tionship between the level of adaptation and the level of proficiency in the English and Russian languages. The authors of the article come to the conclusion about the demand for English language and the need to popular- ize its usage in the academic environment in the context of intensification of academic mobility processes. The quest game in English developed and tested by the authors is an effective tool for primary integration into a new cultural environment. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the proposed tools for adaptation of foreign students in various educational institutions.
