Abstract

The purpose of the study is to trace in a comparative aspect the development of the language and culture co-learning idea in methodological works by Russian and Chinese researchers. The paper shows similarities and differences of approaches in the implementation of the language and culture co-learning idea in the process of foreign language teaching; considers views of scholars and teaching methodology experts on the issue of forming the necessary competencies in students who learn foreign languages. Scientific novelty of the study lies in identifying reference points in the approaches taken by Russian and Chinese teaching methodology experts regarding the role of foreign language learning in the context of culture, in clarifying the scope of the concept of “linguocultural competence” in relation to philological education and training of future philologists; in introducing ideas of Chinese researchers who have not been previously published in Russian into the Russian-language scientific discourse. As a result of the study, the author has outlined the important points of convergence of methodological views on language and culture co-learning, on which new methodologies of teaching Russian as a foreign language to Chinese students can be based, drawing on the traditions adopted in the Chinese foreign language teaching methodology.
