CHINESE GYMNASTICS QIGONG IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS AS A WAY OF FORMING FOREIGN CULTURAL COMPETENCE

One of the elements of the formation of intercultural foreign language competence in Chinese, along with the development of four main language competencies (speaking, listening, reading and writing) as well as the art of calligraphy and Chinese painting, is Chinese gymnastics Qigong used in the educational process. Today, academic education does not imply the introduction of Chinese Qigong gymnastics into the educational process in Russian schools, however, we believe that, as an element of holistic education, this type of activity is a facilitator of learning the Chinese language and a necessary component for the formation of foreign language intercultural competence.
