EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS OF OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION IN TEACHING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TO CHINESE STUDENTS

Abstract

This article examines the teaching of the General Russian Language course to Chinese students within the context of the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) concept. The author emphasizes that education should not be limited to the development of language skills alone, but should also incorporate a value-based approach to enriching the curriculum. The study focuses on the transition from the traditional «what was taught» approach to the modern «what was learned» approach, which allows for a clear definition of students’ final educational outcomes. The concept of outcome-based learning serves as a tool for designing the educational process, ensuring the integration of educational goals into the structure of language instruction. The proposed model allows for the design of educational materials within the logic of outcome-based learning; combines the development of language competencies with the formation of value attitudes; and evaluates not only linguistic but also educational outcomes. Implementation of this approach contributes to the training of specialists with a high level of proficiency in the Russian language and a strong civic position, capable of effectively participating in Russian-Chinese cooperation.
