Immigration and employment policies, such as PEFSR and STEP, suggest that the government wants to recruit talents all over the world to contribute to Taiwan. In addition, international students’
responses to the survey showed that they highly recommend that the government issues work permits for international students and work visas after they graduate from school. However, immigration and employment policies are still restricted in Taiwan, and they need to be revised in order to attract and draw talents from all over the world to work in Taiwan, especially for those who study here and are willing to continue contributing to Taiwanese society. As Figure 1 shows, the local HEIs could collaborate with local/regional/global industries to design programs to educate and train international students with innovative skills and knowledge for their further career plans. With the possible deregulation of immigration and employment policy, R.O.C. and local HEIs will attract more international talents to come study and contribute to the society.

Conclusion
In this globally competitive age, it is crucial to rethink the ideals and rationales for recruiting global talents and internationalization. This research used Taiwan as a case study to understand the approaches the non-English-speaking country adopted to recruit international students as well as how international students perceived and interpreted such practices. The research identified gaps between the ultimate goals of the government and the expectations and concerns of the students.
Such results might provide some insights for other non-English-speaking countries when they try to identify and strengthen their own niches to recruit talented students from abroad in this age of global competition.

摘要
在競爭激烈的全球化時代，對於招募全球人才的理念與實踐進行省思更為重要。本研究 以臺灣為個案，以瞭解一個非英語系國家如何採取招募策略以吸引國際學生。臺灣政府相關 政策傾向於以全英語授課環境與足夠的獎學金吸引國際學生來臺，且期待進一步與國際學生 的母國建立或堅固與臺灣之間的政治與外交關係。然而，對國際學生而言，他們來臺灣求學 主要是受到學習中文／文化、良好社會環境與未來工作機會等誘因所吸引。本研究透過政策 分析、問卷調查、學生訪談等方式瞭解在政府政策與學生期待之間產生的落差內涵，並提出 藉由重新定位政策、建立國際學生輔導系統、強化臺灣利基等建議，以供未來招募國際學生 政策與實踐的實質建議。
關鍵詞：高等教育、國際學生招生政策、國際學生觀點、臺灣
