Lomonosov Pedagogical Education Journal. 2025. 2.

Background. In the era of AI, teachers of the Russian language face new challenges: technologies are reshaping their professional identity while simultaneously creating opportunities for growth. The study of AI’s impact on the transformation of educators’ roles and their adaptation strategies is of particular importance.

Objective. The aim is to determine how AI can act as a catalyst for transforming the traditional professional identities of teachers, fostering their development in new contexts.

Methods. Analysis of the transformation of teachers’ professional roles under the influence of AI, along with a synthesis of theoretical approaches to their adaptation.

Results. New professional identities have been identified: from "knowledge source" to "learning content editor" and "teaching methodology optimizer," and from "academic worker" to "researcher utilizing and developing technologies." These changes motivate educators to acquire new skills and rethink their roles.

Conclusions. AI is reshaping the professional identity of teachers, laying the groundwork for their further development. However, additional research—including quantitative analysis and case studies—is required. This study can serve as a guide for educators adapting to the digital era.

Background. The essence of ideological and political education at universities in China is to cultivate students' patriotism, developing their skills in conducting a discussion on current issues in Chinese history in a foreign language. The development of monologue and dialogic communication skills in Chinese students studying Russian based on the history of their native country not only meets the requirements of the time and the goals of teaching the subject “Russian Language: Advanced Level”, but also opens up new opportunities for the ideological and political education of young people

Objective. The aim is to devise methods for developing communicative and speech skills of students at the advanced stage of education based on materials on the history of China in the context of their ideological and political education.

Methods. Materials on communicative approach to teaching students of universities in the China are analysed.

Results. It is shown that the development of students' skills to talk about Chinese history and discuss related historical events in the language being studied (Russian) increases the significance of the subject “Russian Language” in a Chinese university and generally reflects the mission of teaching a foreign language. In accordance with the nature and focus of the specialty being acquired, students are expected to be ready for intercultural dialogue in a historical context using the material of both world history and the history of the PRC.

Conclusions. In the process of teaching Russian at an advanced level, the teacher should pay special attention to discussing various aspects of Chinese history and culture, including such things as Chinese politics, Chinese wisdom, etc., so that in the future, students can confidently use the Russian language to represent China in the international arena and protect its national interests.

 

Background. The issue of school teaching of literature on military subjects becomes extremely acute in the year of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. Excess of information with not always high-quality presentation can have the effect of rejection, emasculate and make the education of patriotism formal. This can be avoided by carefully selecting the material and analyzing it in depth together with the students.

Objectives. The aim of the study is to establish some methodological principles, according to which students' contact with poetic texts on military subjects acquires an educational and developmental character. We are talking about careful selection of texts, the need for philological analysis, non-dogmatic presentation of material and problem-based learning, as well as the perception of lyrics within the framework of a humanistic approach.

Methods. Several methods of philological text analysis have been used to analyze and interpret the poems: linguistic, structural, comparative, discourse analysis, phenomenological, and content analysis.

Results. Texts for classes with high school students have been selected, problematic issues have been developed. Methodological principles for approaching the topic of military lyrics have been formulated.

Conclusions. A) Choosing texts to study should be guided mainly by the artistic merits of the poems about the war. B) The war in the texts should be shown from the point of view of a person, not a state or an abstract idea. C) The questions should be mostly problematic. D) Analysis should lead to evidence-based interpretation, with students’ active participation.

Background. The article discusses the need to improve the method of monitoring extracurricular activities in order to increase the motivation of Chinese students in the absence of a natural language environment.

Objectives. The study aims to develop and test key principles for organizing a long-term competition using online technology, taking into account the mentality of modern Chinese university students in order to maximize their motivation to learn. The purpose of the publication is to propose an innovative approach to integrating learning across several disciplines and organizing general extracurricular activities while ensuring the academic motivation of participating students.

Study Participants. 116 Chinese students studying in Chinese or Russian universities, including 14 sophomores (graduation year: 2027) of the Russian language profile of the Institute of Foreign Languages and Culture of the South China Normal University, took part in the experiment conducted at the end of 2024.

Methods. At the stage of theoretical research, the methods of literature review and comparative analysis of Chinese and Russian standards of RFL teaching were used. At the empirical research stage, the key methods are experiment, interviews with teachers and students participating in the experiment, as well as observation of teaching according to the proposed methodology.

Results. The typical difficulties in teaching foreign languages, increasing with the spread of digital technologies and Internet resources, are described; the immediate cause of their occurrence — lack of motivation — is noted; the following issues relevant to teaching Russian as a foreign language are considered: the advantages and prospects of using online technology in testing and organizing extracurricular activities for students, the application of Vroom's expectancy theory in pedagogical work, and principles for organizing a long-term competition to maximize the engagement of Chinese students. The study describes an experiment in an online environment, which is a 51-day competition in listening comprehension exercises using online technology called ‘Audition Marathon 2024’. As a result of the experiment, the motivational role and high pedagogical effectiveness of the approach put forward in the work were proven by comparing the results of exams in the discipline ‘Visual-Aural-Oral Russian’ for two semesters.

Conclusions. The results of research suggest that the main significance of organizing competitions using online technologies lies in stimulating extracurricular activities, increasing the amount of time students spend working on the language they are learning, and saving time in class for oral practice. Testing in an environment without direct supervision by the teacher should be accompanied by a productive way of motivating students to achieve high learning efficiency. In addition, when developing innovative means of motivating students to learn Russian, it is necessary to pay considerable attention to the modern mentality of the target audience, its learning traditions, and the available technical equipment.

 

Background. Graphic organizers (in particular, the hierarchical diagram “How?” and the “Pyramid” scheme) play a significant role in the study of Russian as a foreign language by high school students. They contribute not only to the formation of foreign-language communicative competence, but also develop a creative approach, the ability to work in a team, logical-critical, systemic, creative thinking, and independent work skills. In scientific literature, the potential of graphic organizers has not been sufficiently considered, since they are most often described without completed samples. Teaching Russian with the help of graphic organizers in schools with Uzbek and other languages of instruction will simplify, systematize and interestingly design the educational material.

Objective. The aim is to analyze the role of graphic organizers (in particular, the hierarchical diagram “How?” and the “Pyramid” scheme) in the formation of foreign language communicative competence of students and to test their effectiveness experimentally.

Study Participants. The study involved 448 respondents, students of grades 9–10 of secondary comprehensive schools with the Uzbek language of instruction in the Tashkent, Namangan and Surkhandarya regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Methods. We used the methods of theoretical analysis of scientific literature, as well as the methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis.

Results. In practical pedagogical work, graphic organizers perform illustrative, cognitive, communicative and developmental functions. As a result of their use, students learn to transform information into a plan, algorithm, table, diagram; skillfully present educational material in visual and verbal form; use a dialogical form of communication; transform information into a more accessible form for further use in life situations.

Conclusions. The conducted research shows that in the experimental groups, as compared to the control groups, the indicators of success in completing tasks correspond to a high and more creative level, which confirms the effectiveness of the introduction of technologies with graphic organizers. The level of communicative competence of students in experimental groups increased by 24% as a result of using graphic organizers.
