    A STUDY ON FACTORS RELATED TO INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE AT THE MANDARIN TRAINING CENTER IN THE NATIONAL TAIWAN NORMAL UNIVERSITY
    (2009) 葉琬; Vladimíra Bilijenková
    For recent years, number of international students coming to Taiwan in order to pursuit their studies is growing rapidly. A significant part of them come to acquire mandarin language skills. These students utilize services offered by language centers all over the island. However, approximately one fourth of all learners of Chinese enroll in the Mandarin Training Center (MTC), which is affiliated to the National Taiwan Normal University. Its location in the heart of capital city Taipei as well as long history and reputation are intriguing. Despite the long tradition of teaching mandarin as second language, MTC is an organization that is still adapting to international students’ expectations and needs and is improving its services in order to provide environment in which international students can achieve their goals. This research was conducted in order to learn, what are the international students’ points of view (about the MTC services and other topics) and what do they perceive as most significant factors related to their performance and satisfaction at MTC. The methods of data collecting were semi-structured interview and a questionnaire, which used snowball sampling method. SPSS software version 16 was used for data analysis. This study tested six hypotheses. The statistical results showed that only relation of satisfaction and hygiene and situational factors is highly significant. Therefore it could be concluded that variables of hygiene and situational factors are not motivating or de-motivating for international students’ at MTC, however, they still play a significant role in their everyday lives.

    國際高等教育:國際學生在臺學習成就滿意度之研究
    (2008) 譚丹若; Denroy Bernard Tillett
    Taiwan has proven and continues to prove its economic prowess as a fast and well developed nation. One theory to account for this accomplishment is its continued success in developing its best natural resource - its people - through education. A continuum of this practice is the implementation of Higher Education and then International Higher Education. Since the early 1990’s higher education foreign students have been studying in Taiwan obtaining degrees in various academic disciplines at both undergraduate and graduate levels. However, a foreign student, like any other expatriate, may have problems adjusting to a new country. Therefore this study examines the factors that cause students satisfaction or dissatisfaction in adapting and adjusting to life in Taiwan and how those factors may further affect their academic performance. The research method of data collection is a quantitative case study using the Student Satisfaction Questionnaire that was developed and piloted by the researcher. The population is higher education students who have been studying for at least one year in Taiwan and are doing courses in English. The response rate is 73.1%. The results indicate that majority of the international students are satisfied (M = 3.47, SD = .68) where 51.6% could be described satisfied to very satisfied and only 9.4% as dissatisfied. From the 35 questions as independent variables, only 7 show statistical significance to students’ academic performance. Using regional dummy variables, Europe and South America show significance. Age and gender has no significance to students’ performance. TaiwanICDF and Non-TaiwanICDF scholarship students’ status are not significant to students’ performance and there is no statistical difference between their performances. Students Degree is significant to their performance and there is also significant difference between the Graduate and Undergraduate academic performances. The main findings of this research should assist the scholarship organizations, the education institutions, and the Ministry of Education in making the transition and life of foreign students smoother. It may also assist future foreign students in preparation for adjusting and adapting to Taiwan. Finally, the study offers recommendations all the parties involved and the researcher provides suggestions for future research that could aid in learning about the lives of foreign students in Taiwan

    國際學生之適應歷程與跨文化訓練--以國立台灣師範大學為例
    (2008) 張庭芳; Ting-Fang Chang
    近年來，在全球化的趨勢與潮流之下，不僅企業向國際市場前進，世界各國的教育也將國際化列入發展的目標。為了因應國際人才的需求，台灣在2003年也將高等教育國際化列入政策之一，擴大招募外籍學生，一方面吸引優秀的國際人才，一方面也積極創造一個國際化的學習環境。隨著國際學生人數的增加，如何協助國際學生在台灣的適應與學習，也成為學校與相關機構關注的議題。 過去有不少研究指出，透過跨文化的訓練，可以協助國際學生的適應歷程。然而卻較少有研究探討國際學生的跨文化訓練。因此，本研究目的希望瞭解國際學生在適應歷程中所面臨的困難，以及他們在適應歷程中所運用的策略。同時，本研究進一步調查國際學生所接受的跨文後訓練，以及跨文化訓練在適應歷程中對他們的影響，並且探討國際學生的跨文化訓練需要考慮的因素。 本研究以在台灣師範大學就讀的國際學生為個案，運用質性研究的方法，深入訪談六位國際學生，以及三位來自師大國際事務處與財團法人國際合作發展基金會的職員。另外，為了豐富研究資料，本研究也運用了簡要的問卷調查和相關文件資料的分析。最後，研究者基於研究發現，提出建議予提供國際學生跨文化訓練的相關機構，以茲參考。
