中文摘要

本研究目的在於瞭解外籍生在臺灣跨文化適應情況與因應策略,藉由相關文獻之探討,擬定訪談題綱,針對八名馬來西亞學生進行深度訪談,經資料分析發現外籍生的跨文化適應情形可歸於十項,包含課程負擔與壓力、課程相關背景知識不足、語言文字適應困難、臺灣氣候不適應、生活習慣及設施不同、思鄉病、經濟壓力、中文運用逐漸進步、宿舍室友衝突以及臺灣人濃厚的人情味。此外,外籍生在面臨跨文化適應時,共有八種因應作法:尋求支持系統、投入資源、面對問題、控制情緒、放鬆壓力、武裝自我、事前避免以及設定發展目標。針對研究結果,提出對學校之建議為:加強外籍生華語及繁體字之訓練、宿舍室友的安排、提供外籍生獎學金或校內工讀機會以及外籍生心理諮商專區;對外籍生提出之建議為:積極參與社團及社交性活動、設定未來發展目標以及控制情緒及適當紓壓。
