This study is devoted to the scientific substantiation of an innovative model for organising independent learning in Area Studies within the framework of digital pedagogy. The research examines the role of integrating digital technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools into the educational process in enhancing students’ professional and pedagogical competencies. The findings obtained through empirical methods and virtual simulations confirm that the proposed Digital Axiological Model significantly improves learners’ intercultural competence, sociolinguistic adaptability, and linguistic accuracy. The results further demonstrate that the effective integration of digital tools with traditional teaching methods can elevate Area Studies from a predominantly theoretical discipline to the level of an applied analytical laboratory.
