Introduction.
The rapid globalization trends of the 21st century have forced organizations,
including educational institutions, to make significant changes to digital transformation.
According to the OECD digital economy perspective, digital transformation affects
economies and societies in a complex and interdependent manner, which requires sustainable
strategic approaches (OECD, 2020).

Organizations are increasingly adopting digital technologies such as cloud computing, big
data, and artificial intelligence to maintain their relevance in a constantly evolving market (Omar,
2020). Digital transformation is a decisive factor in the success of business and educational
institutions, providing opportunities for improving efficiency, improving customer experience and
innovation (Mushtaha, 2022). Digital transformation is important to OTMs because of its ability
to meet the evolving demands and expectations of students in the digital age. Students now expect
continuous digital experience, personalized learning, and access to digital resources (Abad-Segura,
2020). By adopting digital transformation, institutions can increase student engagement, improve
educational outcomes, and increase overall satisfaction. In addition, digital transformation allows
institutions to simplify administrative processes, increase operational efficiency and reduce costs.
Through the implementation of digital systems, the automation of tasks and the use of data
analysis (Nadkarni, 2021), institutions can optimize their activities, make decisions based on data
information and distribute resources more efficiently than ever (Benavides, 2020).
Main part.
In the modern world, digital technologies are entering all aspects of our lives.
The field of education is no exception. In particular, language education processes are also
developing under the influence of digital transformation. In Uzbekistan, the use of digital
technologies in the study and teaching of foreign languages is important. This article will analyze
the processes of digital transformation in Language Education in Uzbekistan, the problems faced
and the available opportunities.
The introduction of digital technologies in Language Education provides the following
advantages:
1.The quality of teaching increases – Multimedia textbooks, interactive games and virtual
laboratories make language learning more interesting and effective.
2.Flexibility and convenience – with online platforms and mobile applications, students
will have the opportunity to learn a language anywhere and at the right time.
3.Individual approach-programs that work on the basis of artificial intelligence can analyze
the level of knowledge of each student and offer suitable exercises for him.
4.A wide range of resources – open databases, e-books and interactive textbooks on the
Internet will further enrich the language learning process.
5.Global integration-through online courses and international cooperation programs,
students will have access to foreign educational resources.
Digital transformation is a process that combines digital technology with business strategy
in every possible way, facilitating change in the fields of technology, culture and operations,
business processes and human resources to create new business models and encourage innovation

for business to continue. This requires organizations to reinvent themselves and modify all
processes using digital technology to respond to changing markets at appropriate intervals.
Digital transformation is very important for companies that want to be competitive in
today's rapidly growing business landscape. It helps organizations streamline processes, improve
customer experience, achieve their strategic goals, and means integration into all areas of the
organization. When it comes to functional operations, digital transformation can simplify
processes, increase efficiency, and improve customer experience.
There are a number of problems in converting language education to digital format in
Uzbekistan. They can be classified as follows:
1. Infrastructure problems
- Most schools and higher education institutions lack modern computer technology.
- The quality and speed of the Internet is insufficient in some regions.
-There is not enough technical support for the use of digital tools in educational institutions.
2. Digital literacy of teachers
- Many teachers do not have sufficient qualifications in the use of digital technology.
- Courses for teaching digital educational methodologies for teachers are not sufficiently
organized.
3. Shortage of quality electronic resources
-There are not enough quality online resources, video tutorials and interactive materials
suitable for national curricula.
-There are few artificial intelligence systems and automated training programs that work
in the Uzbek language for learning foreign languages.
Results and Discussions
.At the same time, Uzbekistan has certain opportunities for the
development of digital technologies in language education:
1. State support
