Implementation of the national strategy for artificial intelligence development: forming new professional competencies for teachers of russian as a foreign language

Abstract

Introduction. The article explores the issues of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into teaching Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL) within the framework of implementing the National Strategy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence in the Russian Federation. The relevance is determined by the need to adapt the methodological tools of RFL teaching to the technological challenges outlined in strategic documents and the lack of a scientifically based model for applying AI technologies that aligns with the targets of the state strategy. Goal. The aim of the research is to develop and theoretically substantiate a multi-level system for using artificial intelligence technologies in teaching RFL, integrating the didactic potential of AI into existing educational programs. Materials and methods. The primary research material was the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated October 10, 2019, No. 490 “On the Development of Artificial Intelligence in the Russian Federation”. The study employed methods of content analysis, design, and comparative analysis. Results and discussion. Based on the analysis of the AI Development Strategy: the provisions of the document were specified in relation to the field of RFL; the need to modernize the professional competence of teachers of Russian as a foreign language, as well as graduates of specialized educational institutions, was identified; a structure for a professional development program for RFL teachers was proposed, including methodological, practice-oriented, and analytical-project modules. Conclusion. The implementation of the proposed model creates a foundation for the qualitative transformation of the educational process in the field of RFL in accordance with the strategic guidelines for AI development in Russia and contributes to the formation of new professional competencies for teachers.
