我國大學國際化推動方向之檢討與展望：被忽略的行政體系的聲音

Retrospect and Prospect of the Internationalization of Taiwanese Higher Education: The Unheard Administrative Voice

在高等教育國際化趨勢下，「大量招收國際生」以及「積極開設全英語課堂教學課程（EMI）」在21世紀已成為各國的主流政策方向，臺灣亦然。2003年起擴大招收國際生及鼓勵EMI、2004年設立臺灣獎學金、2010年起開放陸生及2016年起加強與新南向國家教育交流及招生等政策，使臺灣國際生及EMI數量快速增加，政府更希望將EMI往中小學紮根，成為雙語國家。然筆者在連續三年執行科技部國際化相關的研究中，發現此方向已造成高教機構行政系統巨大負擔，造成EMI師資與整體行政人員的高流動率、公立大學資源整合與私立大學資源分配等問題，使得國際化未能真正深化於機構中。本文提出政府應建立更彈性的質性指標引導學校重量亦重質；相關補助應重新思考資源分配方式並顧及永續發展；機構應改進國際化環境建置與加強國際素養教育等建議，希冀拋磚引玉、使政策制定與執行者正視與反思問題。

"Under the trend of internationalization of higher education (IHE), 'recruiting large number of international students' and 'massively establishing English-Medium Instruction (EMI) courses' have become the mainstream policy of various countries in the 21st century including Taiwan. Taiwan's policy of expanding the enrollment of international students and encouraging EMI courses since 2003; the establishment of Taiwan Scholarships in 2004; accepting Mainland Chinese students to study in Taiwan in 2010; and the New Southbound Policy strengthening education exchanges with Southeast and South Asian countries, have all led to a rapid increase in the number of international students and EMI courses. The Government is moreover planning in expending EMI to primary and secondary school systems to reach the goal of a bilingual country. However, when conducting internationalization-related research of the Ministry of Science and Technology projects in the past three years, the author found that this direction has caused a huge burden on the administrative system of higher education institutions, which caused a high turnover of EMI instructors and administrative staffs; a problem of integration for public universities; a problem of resource allocation for private universities, which moreover hindered the deepening of internationalization in institutions. It is proposed that the IHE should establish more flexible qualitative indicators; reassess the allocation of resources; integrate global competency into institutional goals and curricula, hoping to draw attention to policy-makers and implementers to face up and reflect on the problems."
