摘要

International students studying in foreign countries encountered a variety of challenges which affect their learning satisfaction. With empirical data and analysis, this study investigated international students' satisfaction and its associated factors in Taiwan. The research results revealed that international students in Taiwan, in general, have quite a high level of learning satisfaction. Significant factor associated with the learning satisfaction of international students is Chinese language level, but not gender, continent of origin, academic major, the length of time staying in Taiwan or educational level. The results of the study contribute to the understanding of international education and assist educators to provide evidence-based orientation to enhance the learning satisfaction of international students.
