Abstract: The transformative potential of the knowledge economy of the XXI century, the establishment of the networked society, emergency digitization due to the COVID-19 pandemic measures have imposed elaborate interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary demands on the marketability of Liberal Arts university graduates’ skills and competencies, upon entering the workforce. The study is focused on the in-depth diagnostics of the development of digitally enhanced multi-purpose orientation, universality, and interdisciplinarity of skillsets for students of European (English, Spanish, French, Italian, German) and Oriental (Mandarin Chinese, Japanese) Languages major programs in Ukraine through the span of educational activities in the time-frame of COVID-19 quarantine measures of March 2020 to October 2021. The findings disclose a wide scope of theoretical and applied issues, permeating the social and educational context worldwide: global event horizon and paradigm shifts in the interdisciplinary trends of digital education in the Covid-19 timeframe and beyond; transformative changes and avenues of development of the network society and education as an interdisciplinary socio-cultural institution and industry in the digital age; global experiences, universal/generic challenges, technical advances and specific national gains in quality assurance of online and hybrid learning in the Covid-19 paradigm. A computational framework of digital interoperability and interdisciplinarity of foreign languages education is introduced in the study. The survey analysis is used to evaluate the digitally enhanced dimensions of interdisciplinarity, universality, and transdisciplinarity, informed by the interoperability of soft skills and digital communication skills for Foreign Languages Education across contrasting timeframes and stages of foreign languages acquisition and early career training.
