ON THE QUESTION OF DIFFICULTIES IN ORGANIZING THE PROCESS OF PRE-LEAVE ADAPTATION FOR CHINESE STUDENTS

Abstract

The article raises the pressing issue of the need to organize the process of pre-departure adaptation for Chinese students going to study at universities in the Russian Federation. The author proceeds from the position that currently this aspect is given insufficient attention by specialists in the educational migration of Chinese, which makes the process of adaptation to new conditions of life and study of foreign students more difficult. The work identifies the main problems that hinder the improvement of the quality of organization of pre-departure adaptation of Chinese students to Russian universities. The identified difficulties allow the author of the study to propose a list of measures that increase the fruitfulness of the process under consideration, designed to minimize the adaptation difficulties of educational migrants directly on the territory of foreign universities, in other socio-cultural realities, and linguistic environment. The findings of the work show the need for the process of pre-departure adaptation of Chinese students, carried out already at the pedagogical stage, to be comprehensive and systematic, to include mandatory theoretical training, monitoring of possible risks of adaptation of educational migrants, to detect the desire to expand and constantly update the didactic side of preparing students for immersion in other academic and cultural realities, to create certain psychological and pedagogical conditions that contribute to improving the quality of pre-departure adaptation of educational migrants from the PRC.
