ENGLISH AS A MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION IN TEACHING PEDAGOGY TO CHINESE STUDENTS: ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

The article addresses educating foreign students in English, which is a significant component of Russia's internationalisation of pedagogical education. For higher education institutions to successfully promote themselves in the market for international educational services, it is crucial that pedagogical standards for professional educational programmes be developed in accordance with the process of teaching in a foreign language. The features of EMI and CLIL technologies in the context of teaching academic disciplines in English are discussed in this paper, along with their benefits and drawbacks in terms of usability and outcomes. The experience of instructing Chinese students in the three-trimester English-language course "Theory of Education" as part of Perm State University's "Educational Management" programme is examined. The author addresses several issues with the way foreign language instruction is organised and offers potential solutions.
