DIAGNOSTICS OF THE LEVEL OF READINESS OF OLDER PRESCHOOL CHILDREN TO LEARN CHINESE

Abstract

Nowadays the interest in learning Chinese language has grown significantly, therefore the researcher determines the level of readiness of older preschool children to learn another language. In this study three main methodologies are used, they are the modified methodology “World Picture”, the emotional categorization methods and the method of answering an open-ended question with motivation. As a result, it is concluded that 75% of respondents showed, to one degree or another, an educational and cognitive interest in studying the “image of another” and agree to admit it into their “picture of the world”, however, more than 20% of older preschoolers need to develop this interest, including using the developed technique. The results of this research made it possible to design the main directions of activity of all subjects of the planned educational process.
