The study of innovative paths of the implementation of ideological and political upbringing in the Russian language programme “Understanding Contemporary China” – the synergetic approach to the creation of the ‘curriculum chain’

Based on the concepts of environmental protection and nature-saving development, which are included in the ten major themes of Xi Jinping’s book “Xi Jinping on Public Administration”, and with the use of the Russian language textbook series “Understanding Contemporary China”, an attempt is made to develop four methodological elements: objectives, contents, methods and evaluation, taking into account the principles of synergetic approach. The article discusses the stages of the learning process, focusing on the integration between three courses: reading and writing, public speaking and translation. This integrated interaction reflects the integrity of the ‘chain of courses’ that form a common discipline.
