Abstract: The subject of the study is the process of teaching Oriental disciplines at a classical university. The aim of the authors was to generalize the accumulated experience and identify the components of the effectiveness of the preparation of bachelors of history. Under the conditions of sanctions, a special military operation, and the turn of Russian foreign policy to the East, there is a growing need for personnel who understand the past and present development of the states of the Afro-Asian region. Meanwhile, scientific developments devoted to the effectiveness of teaching history and the current state of Asian and African countries are clearly insufficient, which is the scientific relevance and novelty of the proposed article. The research methods were general philosophical methods of analysis, synthesis, systematization of materials, observation methods for obtaining student reflection, survey, methods of working with statistical data. In the course of the study, the main components of the effectiveness of teaching Oriental disciplines were identified: the motivation of students that persists throughout the learning process; the continuity of courses and the development of interdisciplinary connections; high-quality educational and methodological support of the educational process; monitoring and diagnosis of academic performance achieved through close cooperation and interaction of Oriental teachers. This joint work, firstly, makes it possible to subordinate the educational process to the common goals and objectives of learning, to take into account the age and psychological and pedagogical characteristics of students, to form universal and general professional competencies at different levels. Secondly, it ensures good academic performance of students, the formation of a holistic picture of the history of Asian and African countries from antiquity to the present, maintains students' interest in the region throughout the entire period of study. Thirdly, it promotes constructive cooperation, exchange of teaching experience, joint scientific developments and their use in the educational process, which can be successfully demanded when organizing the educational process in other universities.
