This study investigates the strategies and challenges associated with teaching the Russian language in Chinese universities. As global interconnectedness increases, the demand for multilingual proficiency has heightened, with Russian emerging as a significant language of interest in China due to geopolitical and economic factors. This research examines current pedagogical approaches, curriculum design, and instructional practices employed in Chinese higher education institutions. It explores the various strategies implemented to enhance Russian language acquisition, including the integration of technology, immersive learning experiences, and collaborative teaching methods. Additionally, the study identifies and analyzes the key challenges faced by educators, such as limited resources, varying levels of student motivation, and cultural barriers. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including surveys, interviews with educators, and classroom observations, the research provides a comprehensive overview of the effectiveness of current teaching practices and the obstacles that hinder successful language instruction. The findings offer valuable insights for improving Russian language education in China, suggesting actionable recommendations for curriculum development, teacher training, and resource allocation to better support language learners and enhance educational outcomes.
