The article provides a retrospective analysis of the foreign students' adaptation training in the United States of America during a certain period, which we designated as institutional and legislative. It was determined that the period was characterized by the creation of the basis of socio-pedagogical support, that was expressed in the adoption of regulatory and legal initiatives that made it possible to develop a system of foreign students' training not only within the national framework of the United States, but also at the international level. It has been proved that the internationally oriented activity of organizations (that emerged in this period) influenced not only on representatives of other countries, but also on American students, in results they received more opportunities to interact with representatives of other cultures, which helped to overcome a stereotypical ideas. It was emphasized that the legislative base that regulate the activity of international educational organizations contributed to the spread of American culture and, thus, the increasing of the number of foreign citizens entering to the US Higher Educational Institutions. The activity of organizations aimed at educational and cultural exchange were analyzed, for example, the American Institute For Foreign Study, which, among other things, developed a cooperation between educational institutions of the United States and other countries for American students' training abroad, that contributed to receive data about effective methods of working with foreign students and their introduction into the adaptation system of the United States. The importance of adaptive training in an informal setting is determined, when foreign and local students have the opportunity to improve their interpersonal skills during the excursions or cultural events. The development of the foreign students' training system in the period under review was based on the educational initiatives of a legislative nature, that implied the importance of not only a theoretical information obtaining by a foreign student, but also the development of personal qualities. ; У статті проведено ретроспективний аналіз адаптаційної підготовки іноземних студентів у США протягом певного етапу, визначеного нами як інституційно-законодавчий. Підкреслено, що етап характеризувався створенням основи соціально-педагогічного супроводу. Це, у підсумку, привело до прийняття нормативно-правових ініціатив, які дозволили розвивати систему підготовки іноземних студентів не тільки в національних рамках Сполучених Штатів, а й на міжнародному рівні. Доведено, що міжнародно-спрямована діяльність організацій (які виникли на даному етапі) впливала і на студентів з інших країн, і на американських студентів, у зв'язку з чим вони отримували більше можливостей для взаємодії з представниками інших культур, що сприяло подоланню стереотипних уявлень.
