The article substantiates the relevance of using digital simulators of professional scenarios for the formation of foreign language communicative competence in university students. This relevance stems from the fact that traditional teaching methods fail to create an authentic professional context, leading to a gap between academic tasks and real communicative challenges. The aim of the conducted research was to develop and test a methodological model integrating digital simulators. In the course of the work, cross-cutting professional scenarios (problem resolution, project presentation, document preparation, intercultural collaboration) were identified and systematized, and a statistically significant increase in the level of all components of foreign language communicative competence (from 3.8% to 17.3% in the experimental group) was experimentally proven. The scientific novelty of the research lies in systematizing approaches to modelling humanitarian discourses by linking scenarios to competence components and integrating AI-based trainers with project management tools. Its practical significance is ensured by creating a methodological constructor for teachers.
