Problems of teaching speaking in Russian in universities in China

The teaching of the Russian language in China has more than a 300-year history, but there are still some problems in teaching speaking that are largely related to the unclear definition of the concept of speaking itself. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately determine the direction of training in speaking in Russian. In combination with the insufficient study of the concept itself and the system of exercises, there is a problem in awareness of the issue of creating a system of communicative exercises. Two above problems are largely related to the lack of a modern methodology for teaching the Russian language in China. The author concludes that there is a need for more detailed study of the theoretical foundations of teaching foreign languages and the development of methods of teaching the Russian. It is important to pay more attention to teaching Chinese students to speak. Speech learning should be based on the development of a special system of exercises.
