Academic Adaptation of Chinese Graduate Students: Problems of Communicative Competence

The relevance of the study is determined by new challenges in the field of organizing an effective multidimensional communicative process in which graduate students coming from the PRC to obtain a PhD diploma are immersed — this is the main result aimed at by foreign graduate students studying at a Russian university. To achieve the goal, a comprehensive study is conducted, including descriptive, associative methods, methods of synthesis and generalization, semantic and conceptual analysis. The conducted research shows that in the process of acquiring high-level communicative competence Chinese graduate students face a number of problems that cannot be solved without a special methodology adapted to the goals and objectives of graduate students. It seems promising to apply the solutions proposed by the author in educational practice to streamline the system of training and stages of academic adaptation of Chinese graduate students in Russian universities.
