| dc.description.abstract | With the rapid development of science and technology,the world is becoming a global village.Thus ,it is necessary to enhance the global competitiveness. Global Mobility has been a key issue recently. As a result,we can become more competitive by enhancing Global Mobility.We can divide Global Mobility into four ablities: communication,expertise,practice and adaptation. Among these four abilities, communication is regarded as the fundamental skill. Therefore,this research focuses on discussing communication (that is English ability).
In order to improve the Global Mobility of students at NCU, we make comparison between students’academic achievement and English ability.We found out three important results through this research. First, among the scores of Chinese,English and Mathematics of the General Scholastic Ability Test(GSAT),there is a high correlation between students’GSAT,English score and their academic achievement at NCU,compared to their chinese and Mathmatics score. The above-mentioned result is the same for the students of College of Science, and College of Engineer.Second,the factors that influence students’English proficiency at college level include GSAT total scores,GSAT English scores,Freshman English scores and GPA,Furthermore,there is a significantly high correlation between GSAT English score and their English proficiency at college level.Third, there is a positive relationship between language proficiency and academic achievement. There is a significantly high correlation between English proficiency and English academic achievement.
