在臺外籍學生的生活適應與休閒生活

Abstract

本研究以在臺外籍大學生為研究對象，研究目的在探討外籍大學生的基本資料、原生國文化、休閒生活，與其來臺後的休閒生活與生活適應情況與關係。以半結構式深度訪談法，訪談5位不同國家的外籍大學男、女生，研究結果顯示：一、外籍大學生面臨的個人適應問題主要包括語言障礙、交通不便、氣候不適，以及與臺灣同學互動不足；二、他們在臺灣的休閒主要為社交、戶外和娛樂，頻率從一至五天不等；三、外籍大學生多以開放、接納的態度應對在臺適應問題，透過休閒生活維持社交和身心健康；四、休閒活動有助於他們建立良好社交關係，對在臺生活適應產生積極影響。研究建議：一、鼓勵外籍大學生參與臺灣籍同學的休閒活動以促進交流；二、未來研究可深入探討不同國籍背景對外籍大學生適應情況的影響。This study delves into the adaptation experiences of foreign students in Taiwan, aiming to elucidate their adjustment process in various aspects. Through semi-structured in-depth interviews, 5 foreign students from diverse backgrounds were interviewed to gather insights. The study revealed that foreign students encounter multifaceted adaptation challenges, including language barriers, transportation inconveniences, climatic disparities, and limited social interactions with local peers. Leisure activities among foreign students in Taiwan primarily revolve around social engagements, outdoor pursuits, and recreational endeavors, with varying frequencies. Notably, international students adopt an inclusive and adaptive approach to address adaptation challenges, utilizing leisure activities to foster social connections and maintain mental well-being. Moreover, active engagement in leisure pursuits contributes positively to their integration into Taiwanese society. Recommendations include promoting intercultural exchanges through collaborative leisure activities and advocating for further research on the nuanced influences of nationality on adaptation experiences.
