Abstrakt: The ease of accessing information about education abroad encourages students to continue their study in other countries. However, studying abroad has many challenges. Managing intercultural diversity and overcoming intercultural learning are two of them. These factors affect international students' cognitive load. Furthermore, intercultural aspects have not been considered widely in many studies related to cognitive load, particularly in education. This study analyzes the effect of intercultural diversity and intercultural learning challenges on the cognitive load of Indonesian students in the foreign countries. The data is collected by distributing online questionnaires to 124 Indonesian students studying abroad. In the later stage of this study, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is employed to evaluate the significance of relationships among several factors studied. The results showed that intercultural learning challenges have a significant effect on student's cognitive load. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
