中文摘要

近年來，臺灣各大學積極推展國際化教育，因此大量的國際學生來臺，當蒙古學生來到同為亞洲地區的臺灣來留學，在適應上的問題有哪些？他們又是如何解決的？此乃本研究的研究動機。本研究之樣本為在中興大學就讀的4位蒙古學生，透過對研究參與者的半結構式訪談、參與式觀察、來往信件與社交媒體貼文來收集資料。本研究有以下發現：一、語文適應方面：（一）來臺時只會簡易中文，造成生活不便，在臺灣修中文課對聽力有幫助，但在其他方面幫助較有限；（二）無法清楚分辨中文音調而影響理解；（三）說話的口音有時會讓他人產生誤解。二、課業適應方面：（一）不易理解中文講授的課程內容；（二）不易在上課中提問；（三）不易在小組討論時與人互動並承擔責任；（四）無法以中文上臺口頭報告；（五）學科的基本底蘊不足。三、社交適應方面：（一）因為語言隔閡和文化差異，蒙古學生在社交生活上不易結交臺灣本地朋友、或被本地的社交圈所接受；（二）課堂分組報告或討論時，因本地生用中文溝通而易被孤立；（三）就算後來遇到能說流利英語的臺灣本地生，也會因以前的印象而怯於接觸；（四）大多都是和自己同國籍的朋友或是其他講英語的國際學生交流。四、文化適應方面：生活上多能獨立自主，飲食上口味差異大，易致思鄉情結，並曾經歷過文化刻板印象。五、適應策略方面：面對以上問題，蒙古生常會積極找授課教授、助教、密友、或國際事務處來求助，並調整心態來樂觀面對。最後，本研究提出一些建議給學校當局與未來研究做為參考。
英文摘要

Recently, every university in Taiwan has tried to promote international education. The number of international students in Taiwan has been constantly increasing. As Mongolian students come to Taiwan, probably they would encounter adjustment issues. However, do they face the similar kinds of adjustment issues in Taiwan as those in Western world? How do they solve these problems? These mentioned issues offer the main motivation of this study. The data are collected from 4 Mongolian international students who are studying at National Chung Hsing University. In this study a semi-structured interview, participant observation, and document analysis techniques are applied so as to collect data and meet the requirement of triangulation. The research findings are as follows. These problems include difficulties with language, academics, and social interaction, and culture variation. The Mongolian students usually ask help for professors, departmental secretaries, close friends, and staff of Office of International Affairs. Finally, based on the findings, some suggestions for universities and future research are provided.
