DESIGNING A LESSON ON THE SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANISATION IN A SOCIO-POLITICAL VOCABULARY COURSE FOR CHINESE LANGUAGE STUDENTS IN RUSSIAN UNIVERSITIES BASED ON THE OBE CONCEPT

Abstract

The relevance of the study is determined by the growing importance of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in Russian-Chinese humanitarian, educational and political communication, as well as by the need to strengthen the practical orientation of socio-political vocabulary teaching for students majoring in Chinese at Russian universities. The objective of the study is to substantiate and describe an OBE-based lesson design model for the topic “Shanghai Cooperation Organisation” in a socio-political vocabulary course. The article clarifies the methodological compatibility between outcome-based education and professionally oriented Chinese vocabulary teaching, identifies the main difficulties of the existing teaching model, and proposes a structure of expected learning outcomes, content modules, teaching tasks and assessment procedures. The study is based on theoretical analysis, comparative analysis of methodological literature, modelling and pedagogical design. The novelty of the research lies in the application of the OBE logic to a specific socio-political lexical topic connected with the SCO in the context of Russian higher education. The results may be used in Chinese language programmes, courses on socio-political translation and professionally oriented modules for students preparing for work in international cooperation, education, translation and intercultural communication.
