Abstract

The relevance of the study is driven by the need to develop evidence-based recommendations for designing video content tailored to the cognitive characteristics of Vietnamese students learning the Russian language. In the absence of natural communication, video lectures within the “flipped classroom” model become a key tool for compensating for the lack of a Russian-speaking environment. The aim of the study is to systematize linguodidactic criteria that take into account national-oriented challenges and students’ cognitive strategies to optimize their autonomous work in learning Russian as a foreign language. The research material consisted of structured video lessons based on the principles and requirements of the “flipped classroom” model. The methods employed included a theoretical literature analysis, student surveys ( n = 83), interviews ( n = 6), and content analysis. The study was conducted at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam). The results established that the methodological value of the content takes priority over its technical features and revealed the high significance of logical material structuring and the use of the native language as a supporting meta language to implement the “scaffolding” strategy. Students’ preference for static visualization and color coding in Russian video lectures was identified, and the optimal video duration (15-30 minutes) was specified. The research prospects include implementation of this criteria system into the practice of creating video lectures in the Russian language for a Vietnamese audience. The integration of adaptive technologies and artificial intelligence will allow for the personalization of Russian language teaching and increase the effectiveness of the “flipped classroom” model in the modern educational context.
