| Popis: | 106 Universities are not just halls of learning and knowledge, they are also about creating “links” between people and other people, people and things, and people and objects. The diverse and rich features of universities are reflected in the operations of the administrative and academic mechanisms of schools, the conveyance of the truth, passing on knowledge, and in clarifying doubts from teachers to student. They are even reflected in the decoding of interpersonal relations, interactions between students, and the overall spatial environment of the campus and its impact on teachers and students. How should the English quality and content of teaching be improved to create excellence? The best solution is to build a friendly learning environment to meet the needs of students. According to the Ministry of Education, the number of students available for university enrollment in the 2016 academic year will be reduced by 30,000, meaning that 30 universities were unable to recruit students. Another, 2017-2032 every academic year will be reduced by 5,000. Students are the pillars of the country’s future. Satisfy the students'' expectations and needs in the learning process is a strategy adopted by many universities to deal with declining birthrates. In addition, in response to global trends, and following the Ministry of Education’s main policy direction of “global vision,” striving to improve English teaching quality, enhancing learning effectiveness, connecting with the world, and developing the international perspective of students will allow them to have a broad international outlook during their studies, strengthening their global outlook and competitiveness. In order to respond to the requirements of English teaching quality and increase the competitiveness of students, and to help students more rapidly acquire the skills and information required for their classes, it is important to understand the factors that influence the learning satisfaction of university students. Testing has long been the focus of education in Taiwan. Most of what students learn is only for the sake of taking tests. So, when students face actual problems, they are unable to put what they have learned into practice. In the age of globalization, regardless of country of origin, English will be the language people use to communicate with each other. On this basis, faced with global competition, enabling Taiwanese students to learn English well at the same time as developing self-confidence and a positive attitude toward learning are difficult challenges to overcome. On this basis, the present study will explore whether organizational socialization and person-organization fit are conducive to student learning outcomes in a full English learning environment. We apply a large-scale and fully-featured questionnaire in Taiwan on students at a full English course at a College of Business and Management at a private university that has won consecutive awards as the most favored by companies from Cheers Magazine, using structural equation modelling to confirm the effects of each dimension. The study found that (1) Organizational socialization can positively affect person-organization fit and English learning outcomes. (2)While person-organization fit can positively impact the outcomes of English learning, this finding is not statistically significant. (3)Person-organization fit has no mediating effect on the relationship between organizational socialization and English learning outcomes. The results of this study will provide reference for policy makers and educators in the Asia Pacific region and elsewhere to improve the teaching of English. Viewing students as the customers of the university is no longer a novel concept. The satisfaction of students’ learning will affect their academic effectiveness and reflect the quality of university teaching. Understanding the factors that influence the academic performance of university students can help improve students’ academic performance, and is crucial to enabling universities to develop outstanding teaching. This paper hopes to provide a reference for universities in supporting future sustainable development and a shared vision for excellence. |
