On enhancing the effectiveness of teaching Russian speaking skills to students in China (at the basic stage of learning)

the article describes the modern requirements for teaching Russian for teaching Russian as a foreign language in Chinese universities, with the aim of exploring ways to optimize the process of developing Russian speaking skills among beginner-level Chinese students (first and second years) within the context of establishing the New Humanities system. The primary research methods consist of survey, analysis, observation, data synthesis, and descriptive statistics. The survey was carried out among 150 students and teachers from four Chinese universities: Shenyang Institute of Technology, Henan Vocational College of Arts, Yanshan University, and Hebei Normal University. Based on the questionnaire, the study analyzes the speaking training model for beginner-level Chinese students in higher education institutions and systematizes the main issues in Russian speaking instruction: outdated teaching concepts and models, irrational curriculum design, insufficient faculty qualification, and limited opportunities for practical training. The following practical recommendations are proposed: strengthening practice-oriented teaching, improving faculty professional development, introducing innovative teaching methods, and optimizing teaching materials. Finally, the effectiveness of these measures in enhancing the quality of Russian speaking instruction in Chinese educational institutions is demonstrated.
