Аннотация:Chinese universities need to innovate the cultivation mode of international students in response to the growing number of international students in China. Practical education, as a useful supplement to classroom teaching, can enable international students to improve their cross-cultural understanding and communication skills, enhance their Chinese communication skills and better apply their professional knowledge. At present, the cultivation system of international students in Chinese universities needs to be improved, and the cross-cultural adaptation ability of international students in China needs to be improved, so it is necessary to strengthen practical education. Drawing on the experience of practical teaching in Chinese universities, improving the practical management system of universities, and building a cultural atmosphere of understanding and recognition based on cross-cultural background are useful ways to enhance practical teaching for international students in China. In addition, the "Chinese-style path" of practical education for international students is also applicable to Russia, which has a large number of international students, and can provide ideas for Russian universities to learn from.
