摘要

過去十餘年，外籍生來台就讀大學人數顯著增加，根據教育部境外生人數統計數據，自2007年30,509人攀升至2016年116,416人。明顯地台灣近年對外籍生海外就學具有高度的吸引力，而台灣與越南教育上的合作亦達到新高點。統計數據顯示2016年越南在台學生有4,774人，成為台灣境外生的第七大來源國。此外，台灣企業2015年在越南投資近6億7千4百萬美元，成為越南外來投資國的第四名，因此愈來愈多越南學生前來台灣接受高等教育。
在台灣就讀大學的越南學生通常會面對海外學習適應上的許多困難。本研究目的在於瞭解越南學生在台灣的學習適應過程，並進一步對台灣的大學提供如何協助外籍生有效適應的建議。本研究以就讀中原大學及中央大學之越南學生為對象，採取網路問卷調查方式，共獲取154份有效問卷。
實證結果發現：社會支持對海外學習適應及學習績效均有正向顯著影響；海外學習適應對學習績效有正向顯著影響；海外學習適應對社會支持與學習績效間的關係具有顯著中介效果。
