Abstract

The diversification of the global labor market demands has a serious impact on the objectives, methods, forms and content of foreign language teaching at Chinese universities. The first «National standards for the quality of professional training of bachelor students in multidisciplinary universities of the classical type» (2018) create the framework and give practical recommendations to ensure the quality of Chinese young professionals’ training in accordance with international standards of professional training and strategic plans for China’s economic advancement, expressed in the Chinese leader XI Jinping’s project to create an international transport corridor «one belt - one road». The article evaluates the organization of student training according to the model - «specialization + foreign (Russian) language» at the Guangdong University of foreign languages and foreign trade. The results of the study show that this process is in line with the search for a balance between national standards and transnational requirements for the quality of student training and is aimed to improve the competitiveness of Russian speaking Chinese graduates at the international labor market, primarily in the Eurasian space, especially in the aria of a new silk road connecting the East and the West.
