International student exchange programs have gained popularity as a means to increase enrollments, support international academic partnerships, and improve student preparedness for globalized work environments. However, the relationships between English language proficiency, cultural intelligence, teamwork, self-efficacy, academic success, and other factors within these programs are not clear. This study investigates the correlations among international accounting students' English language proficiency, accounting knowledge, and academic performance in a transnational education program in mainland China. Data were obtained from academic records of 104 accounting students enrolled in the program. A quantitative measuring of the Pearson correlation statistical tests were employed to measure the relationships between English language proficiency and academic performance, as well as between previous accounting knowledge and academic success. The results indicate a statistically significant relationship between English language proficiency and academic performance, and between previous accounting knowledge and academic success. This study has significant implications for transnational education programs, academic institutions, and policymakers and provides insights into effective strategies for enhancing the quality of transnational education programs and promoting the internationalization of higher education.
国际学生交流项目作为增加入学人数、支持国际学术伙伴关系以及提高学生对全球化工作环境的准备程度的一种方式，已越来越受欢迎。然而，在这些项目中，英语语言能力、文化智力、团队合作、自我效能感、学业成绩以及其他因素之间的关系尚不清楚。本研究调查了中国大陆一个跨国教育项目中，国际会计专业学生的英语语言能力、会计知识与学业成绩之间的相关性。数据来自该项目中104名会计专业学生的学术记录。采用皮尔逊相关统计检验进行定量测量，以衡量英语语言能力与学业成绩之间的关系，以及先前会计知识与学业成功之间的关系。结果表明，英语语言能力与学业成绩之间，以及先前会计知识与学业成功之间存在统计学上的显著关系。本研究对跨国教育项目、学术机构和政策制定者具有重要意义，并为提高跨国教育项目质量和促进高等教育国际化的有效策略提供了见解。
