BASICS FOR FORMING OF BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE IN CHINESE STUDENTS
The article considers the basic criteria for the organization of background knowledge in training Chinese students in conditions of extralinguistic environment. The necessity of taking into account the extralinguistic component of the national language system is justified. The researcher analyses prospects of the formation of background knowledge based on the model of hypertext created using multimedia tools and a computer. Complexly organized architecture of hypertexts suits the needs of the linguistic method. It is shown that under the conditions of an extra-linguistic environment one can rely on the following criteria for the formation of background knowledge: the theoretical development of cognitive linguistics, the culturally-oriented direction in the methodology and the new instrumental possibilities for the organization of the educational material, which together make it possible to form the background knowledge in the form of separate lexical-grammatical and thematically related modules.
