高等教育國際化下的新興學校單位：我國大學國際學院的興起與發展

A New University Unit Under the Internationalization of Higher Education: Exploring the Rise and Development of International Colleges in Taiwanese Universities

高等教育國際化（高教國際化）是近年各國的重點教育政策。臺灣高教校院近年紛紛打破專業導向的傳統學術分類架構，成立以招收境外生與執行全英語授課（EMI）為共同特色的新單位──「國際學院」。這些國際學院有共同性亦各有特色，學界對此新興單位尚無系統性的研究。本文就臺灣國際學院的興起與各校實踐國際化的策略做一初探，發現多數國際學院的統合特色使高教國際化更具系統性，特別是在「引進來」及「走出去」面向皆有不錯成果，而在「在地國際化」的豐富度上仍待加強。本文提出國際學院應將全球素養納為核心價值；規劃USR、將多元能量回饋社會；以知識外交為長期目標、加強國際學術及產業合作；高教機構應將國際學院視為帶動機構國際化的原型等建議，希冀拋磚引玉，反思此新興單位在國際化過程中的潛力。

The internationalization of higher education (IHE) has become one of the most important goals in higher education in today’s world. In recent years, many universities in Taiwan have broken away from traditional professional-oriented academic classification and established a new unit called the“International College (IC).'' These ICs share a common focus on recruiting external students and offering EMI courses. Whereas ICs share some similarities, they also have unique characteristics. There is yet systematic research on this emerging unit. This article makes a preliminary exploration of the development of ICs in Taiwanese universities and their strategies for implementing IHE. It is found that the integrated features in most ICs are positive to systematic IHE. ICs also have good results in“coming in”and“going out”, but need to strengthen the richness of“internationalization at home”. Suggestions include incorporating global competence into IC core values; planning USR to contribute to the society; setting knowledge diplomacy as a long-term goal, and strengthening international cooperation. Moreover, higher education institutions should regard ICs as prototypes for driving institutional internationalization. These suggestions aim to stimulate further discussion and reflect on the potential of ICs in the process of IHE.
