TEACHING PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSES FOR CHINESE STUDENTS

Abstract

The article explores the specifics of teaching Russian phraseological units to Chinese students within the framework of intercultural education. The authors consider phraseological expressions as carriers of cultural codes, imagery, and values, as well as tools for developing intercultural communicative competence. Based on a comparative analysis of Russian and Chinese phraseological units, semantic discrepancies and points of intercultural interference are identified, which substantiates the need for an ethnoculturally oriented approach to instruction. The article offers methodological recommendations and practical techniques aimed at developing stable phraseological usage skills among students with a Chinese linguistic and cultural background. It concludes that the integration of phraseological material into the RFL curriculum should be systematic, meaningful, and culturally adapted, as it contributes to the enrichment of learners’ linguistic worldview and enhances the effectiveness of speech communication.
