Within the frameworks of their business trip to China, the delegation from South Ural State University visited Harbin Deqiang Senior High School, Kunlun Tourism College, and Harbin Cambridge No.3 High School. As part of the meetings, our university representatives delivered presentations of the SUSU academic programmes, as well as of the opportunities of studying in Russia for Chinese school students.
An event of special importance was the signing of an agreement of opening a SUSU Pre-University Education Division at Harbin Cambridge No.3 High School. The school already offers Russian-language classes, where students learn Russian and show interest in enrolling in Russian universities, including in SUSU. The new division will allow to use a system-based approach to prepare the future students to obtaining their education in Russia.
In all these educational institutions there is great interest in the Russian language and in the modern methods of teaching it. The parties agreed on rendering the methodological support for the teaching staff, as well as on involving school students in the events aimed at language skills development. Plans for the nearest future include the organization of online conversation clubs with the participation of students from SUSU, along with joint contests and other activities helping popularize the Russian language among young people in China.
