Digitalization and the rapid development of online education have significantly transformed the process of foreign language learning in the twenty-first century. English and German, as widely used international and regional languages, are particularly influenced by digital technologies and online learning environments. This article examines digitalization and online education as modern factors shaping the study of English and German languages from a theoretical and analytical perspective. The research analyzes the role of digital platforms, online courses, virtual classrooms, and educational technologies in expanding access to language education and increasing learner autonomy. Based on academic literature, reports of international organizations, and studies in digital linguistics and education, the article identifies key trends and mechanisms through which digitalization enhances language acquisition. The findings indicate that online education contributes to the global spread of English and German and reshapes traditional approaches to language teaching and learning.
