Abstract

This paper proposes teaching guidelines on the formation of profession-oriented foreign
language competency in non-language major students who study Chinese as a foreign
language in the conditions of limited class time. The relevance of this task is dictated by
global trends in the higher education. In the globalized world, the cooperation between
Kazakhstan and China increases in many sectors of the economy, and there is a need for
skilled specialists who can independently conduct professional communication in
Chinese. We analysed the available methods for teaching Chinese as a foreign language,
such as the competency-based approach and the types of language activity in practical
lessons. A survey was conducted to determine the educational needs and expected
learning outcomes of non-language major students. This translated to methodological
guidelines on how to increase the learning uptake for non-language major students. It is
recommended to teach the foreign language with the backup of the native language and
to intensively introduce the terminological apparatus of the students’ major. It is shown
that the proposed teaching guidelines helped non-language major students to form
profession-oriented level A2 competency.
