Today we can confidently speak about the change in the paradigm of of Russian education within the scope of the “Foreign Language” subject. The Chinese language is gaining new positions, spreading from the East to all regions of the country. One of the policy directions in the field of education is the formation of intercultural foreign language competence. The study deals with the issue of the formation of intercultural foreign language competence, taking into account the psychosomatic approach in teaching the tones of the Chinese language. This approach is mandatory in the teaching of tone languages, as it involves a new channel of perception, which is usually not used while teaching European languages. The implementation of this approach was carried out within the framework of the discipline “Practical course of the Chinese language”, as well as outside the classroom. The psychosomatic approach is one of the four main directions of the holistic approach in teaching Chinese.

The article discusses the author's model of applying the method of associative legend in motion to memorize the tones of Chinese lexical units. The author also shares her experience of “Qigong” exercises for students and university staff, which gives an additional color the culture of the country of the studied language into the palette of colors of the lesson, which goes beyond the traditional limits of teaching disciplines.

The main conclusions of the research work can be applied both within the framework of the taught discipline and in extracurricular activities of both the university and schools dealing with issues of Sinology.

The author's work on the application of psychosomatic techniques in the Chinese language class allows us to conclude about the effectiveness of using body movements along with the method of using associative legends both directly for memorizing the tones of Chinese words and for the general activation of mental activity.
