Abstract
The paper discusses the use of gamification as an effective method for teaching Chinese Internet slang to Russian students studying pedagogy. The relevance of the research is due to the rapid development of Internet communication in Chinese and the need to prepare future teachers to understand and use modern linguistic realities in the educational process. The paper analyses the theoretical foundations of gamification, the principles of its implementation in foreign language teaching, and the specific features of Chinese Internet slang. The results of an empirical study are presented, demonstrating the positive impact of the developed gamified methodology on increasing student motivation, engagement, and performance in learning Chinese Internet slang. Specific examples of gamification elements and tasks adapted to the context of teaching Chinese to future teachers are proposed. In conclusion, the prospects for further use of gamification in Chinese language teaching practice are discussed, as well as the possibilities for adapting the presented methodology to other target audiences and language aspects.
