Abstract

Relevance. The development of career prospects is an important issue in the process of educational and professional training of students of all specialities. In this context, learning the Chinese language by higher education applicants is of particular relevance due to the expansion and strengthening of educational interaction between the Kyrgyz Republic and China.

Purpose. A goal was developed, which was to investigate the influence of students’ Chinese language skills on their level of competitiveness in the modern labour market and career prospects.

Methodology. The study used the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, deduction, abstraction, and generalisation.

Results. As a result, the main advantages of acquiring Chinese language skills by future specialists and the possibility of using it in professional activities were established. Special attention in the paper was paid to the current state of ensuring the teaching of this language in universities of the Kyrgyz Republic. As a result, the areas based on which students develop knowledge of the Chinese language were established. The paper proposed methods to increase the efficiency of this process, through the introduction of double diplomas and special bilateral training programmes. In addition, the main advantages of students learning Chinese were revealed, both in the context of future employment and improving the level of professional competence in general. As a result, it was found that the development of proficiency in this language has a direct impact on the expansion of the career prospects of a future specialist.

Conclusions. Based on the conclusions obtained in the study, it is advisable to use them in the design of curricula for the Chinese language in universities of the Kyrgyz Republic, which do not have this academic discipline.

Keywords: employment; professional activity; labour market; competitiveness; future specialists; foreign language competence
