Abstract

The rapid development of economic relations between Russia and China requires high-quality training of specialists with professional Chinese language skills. In addressing this task, the primary focus is on developing a unified Russian standard for professional Chinese language proficiency; this is precisely the relevance of the present article.

The purpose of the article is to present a model example of a professional Chinese language proficiency standard. To achieve this goal, the paper covers the release of a key document from the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China on teaching foreigners professional Chinese – the “Standard for Professional Chinese Language Proficiency”. The full text of this document is presented, which has been translated into Russian for the first time by the author of the article from Chinese. This standard can also function as a foundation for developing new approaches in teaching “Chinese Language +” in Russia.
