In the given article the authors set degree of scientific development of language education axiology problems. For this VOSviewer program was used as a tool oriented for the visualization of bibliometric nets and allowing to build cartograms which are able to include the names of journals, surname of authors, organization names, and key words. With the help of Keyword: Co-occurrence method bibliometric maps of publications in the subject area “Axiology of language education” were taken, on the base of coauthors nets of authors according to the axiologization of language education were visualized, also publication activity in the area of studying axiology was identified on the basis of Scopus bibliographic database by the countries and language of publications.

In general, the authors believe that the results of the study are the basis for updating scientific research in the field of axiology of language education.
