The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between metacognitive ability and learning autonomy as a strategy for improving student learning outcomes. Metacognition has a major contribution to the success of learners because it is mainly concerned with the process of thinking. For this reason, the classroom environment must be designed to allow learners the opportunity to autonomously determine their learning strategies. Autonomous learning itself has a close relationship with the ability of learners to express, be more creative, have self-esteem, and understand conceptual learning that is more challenging. The method used in this research is the descriptive correlational method, with a sample of 30 students from the Department of Language and Arts. The research sample was students from the first semester of 2018/2019, who were chosen randomly. Data were collected through questionnaires and tests. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between metacognitive ability, learner's autonomy, and learning outcomes in Indonesian language courses. These results indicate that there is an encouragement for students to increase their learning capacity for themselves. Also, they are encouraged to develop their learning strategies and have the opportunity to make decisions, especially in developing ideas.

The study of phraseological units by foreign students at the stage of their professional education is an important means of enriching students ' speech, mastering the lexical norms of the Russian language. As you know, phraseological units can contain different parts of speech, but phraseological units with adjectives have the greatest expressiveness. This research is devoted to the linguodidactic problem of developing tasks for the use of phraseological units in the speech of foreign students. To successfully achieve the research goal, we used the continuous sampling method, the analysis method, the exercise method, and the observation method. Our task was to select phraseological units with adjectives and ask Chinese students to complete tasks. Some students do not know the meaning of phraseological units and the terms of their use. At the level of professional linguistic education, students should have a good command of this material. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of the material, the form of expression, and the specifics of historical and cultural features reflected in phraseology, many students were unable to correctly determine the meaning and conditions for using the proposed phraseology. We developed a system of exercises that helped students master phraseological units with adjectives, taking into account their functioning in artistic and colloquial speech. The results of our research are of interest to teachers of Russian as a foreign language and can be used in the practice of teaching foreign languages.

The study of phraseology is an advanced direction of teaching methods of Russian as a foreign language. Any non-native speaker embarking on a study of Russian is faced with the problems of understanding the phraseological units that the Russian language is replete with. Language learners experience particular difficulties when using phraseological units with the color designation component &quot;black&quot; in a real-life communicative situation. The problem of understanding the phraseology of the Russian language is associated with the fact that representatives of different countries have knowledge of the phraseology of their native language that encompasses regional geography, linguoculturological, national concepts, which often do not coincide with similar phenomena in the Russian environment. This paper scientifically substantiates the methodological system for working with phraseological units in the study of Russian as a foreign language. It presents a system of scientifically grounded assignments for foreigners to learn Russian as a foreign language.
