Significant Factors

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the organization of the educational process in Russian universities. The object of the research is the experience of implementing e-education and the transition to distance technologies for continuing education of Chinese undergraduates in the Russian metropolitan university. Russian universities had the technical capabilities and used various electronic educational platforms. In the same time, the results of the survey showed a decrease in the satisfaction of Chinese full-time students when switching to distance learning. The study shows the significant factors that had a negative impact on the educational process using distance technology to teach Chinese undergraduates during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors have grouped these factors into five groups (technical, language, emotional, and financial, content of lecture). Identification of these factors made it possible to develop a program to improve the educational process and enhance the satisfaction of foreign students studying at Russian universities.

The article considers the intermediary function of languages used at the stage of preparation of foreign applicants for admission to Russian universities. In a situation when the majority of foreigners’ proficiency of the Russian language is not satisfactory, the process of studying special disciplines is significantly slowed down, and the lack of subject knowledge does not allow foreign students to successfully master their chosen specialty. In order to overcome these difficulties and solve the problem of providing students with initial subject knowledge, various forms of presentation of the material are used, but often they can be effective only if an intermediary language is used in the classroom – a common language that is more or less familiar to all the participants in the educational process. For this purpose, English is more often used in modern education. The choice of English as an intermediary language is explained by the role it plays in international communication and its wide representation in the educational process. Since there are different views in linguodidactics on the ways, methods, and “order” of introducing foreign language knowledge, special attention is paid to the expediency –inexpediency of using an intermediary language at different stages of teaching Russian in groups with heterogeneous ethnic composition. The conclusion is made about the importance of the designated problem and the need for its further development within the framework of ethnolinguistics and linguodidactics.

This qualitative study investigates a cohort of Zhuang university students’ perceptions of their ethnicity, and the way they construct and negotiate their ethnic identity as they migrate from an inland, ethnic, autonomous province to study in an eastern, coastal municipality. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that the construction of ethnic Zhuang identity is influenced by the interplay between institutional power, sociocultural environment and individual agency. Specifically, participants show three divergent patterns of ethnic identification, namely: receivers, who readily accept their official ethnic classification but have limited ethnic awareness; constructors, who have strong ethnic awareness and strive for ethnic language transmission and heritage culture protection; and utilizers, who are keen on the instrumental values brought by their ethnicity. It is further found that the Zhuang language does not facilitate or strengthen ethnic Zhuang identification due to differences among language varieties.

The relevance of the work is confirmed by the need to ensure that vocational training meets the requirements of formal and non-formal, difficult to coordinate requirements of the education system and the labor market. The article proposes one way to solve this problem in the framework of control theory and knowledge engineering. A methodology for developing an ontological model is proposed and described for the formation of the content and assessment of ICT competencies of university students, based on two basic ideas: first, the definition of the boundaries of the subject area of competencies, for which the content and means of assessment are formed on the basis of harmonized regulatory framework (boundaries are defined by invariant and variant documents.); secondly, a mechanism for taking into account personal characteristics and needs in order to build an individual trajectory of professional education and self-training should be conceptualized and preliminarily designed. An ontological model developed based on this technique is presented for forming the content and evaluating the competencies of IT specialists using the example of the subject field “IT solutions for business on the 1C: Enterprise platform”. The development of the research topic is possible in the direction of expanding the functionality of the ontological model in terms of preparing for certification exams from venders, adding other areas of preparation and adding other subject areas. The knowledge base created based on the ontological model can become part of intelligent information systems of decision support for education systems and corporate training, as well as HR management. This article will be of interest to specialists involved in the development of new tools and methods for managing the educational process and self-learning processes in distance education systems.

The article considers digital technologies used to attract foreign students to regional universities. Forced distance learning during the pandemic COVID-19 revealed the weaknesses in the educational process when the need for intensive use of the existing digital technologies increased. This served as the basis for the active transformations of the priority areas in developing the digital environment in universities and the active use of online technologies to preserve the sustainable development of educational exports. With distant learning, the global competition for foreign students between universities only intensified making it necessary to create a high-quality digital environment. Russian universities used to compete with universities in other countries. But nowadays students can choose a university without leaving their homes. The main factors for their choice are the quality of education and reliability of the virtual infrastructure [1]. For the sustainable development of educational services exports, regional universities need to engage all the available digital tools to attract foreign applicants. They must position themselves as modern, internationally recognized educational institutions providing high quality education.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made significant changes in the educational process in almost all countries of the world. The methods and approaches, techniques and technology that teachers used in offline learning, turned out to be ineffective. The issues related to online teaching of Russian as a foreign language have become particularly relevant, since many students had to leave Russia and study the language only online. The purpose of the study is to consider the prospects (immediate and long-term) of the Russian language online teaching to foreign students in Russian universities. The research materials are the results of a survey conducted among the 1st year master degree students, specialty 45.04.01 Russian as a Foreign Language of the Faculty of Philology of the RUDN University (Moscow), as well as the experience of the author, who teaches Russian to foreign students online on the TEIS (Telecommunication Educational and Informational System) and Microsoft Teams platforms. The study revealed the pros and cons of online learning of Russian as a foreign language, and showed the ways of improving its effectiveness in Russian universities. As a result of the conducted research, the immediate prospects are identified, which include the implementation of relevant components of pedagogical tools in Russian as a foreign language online learning: modern pedagogical technologies, the principles of individualization and differentiation, and the communicative approach. The long-term prospects concern teaching Russian to foreign students only in a mixed format. The formation of communicative competence, the lack of Russian-speaking environment, difficulties in organising control and developing students' writing skills are among the main problems that undermine the quality of teaching Russian as a foreign language online. It is concluded that in the future we should expect the implementation of a new approach in the world education system, since the pandemic will certainly affect the market of educational services all over the world.
