Keywords:
innovative technologies, teacher education, English language teaching, digital pedagogy, constructivism, communicative competence.Abstract
The rapid development of digital technologies has significantly transformed the educational landscape, particularly in teacher education. The integration of innovative technologies into the training of future English teachers is not only a methodological necessity but also a pedagogical imperative in the context of globalization and digitalization. This paper examines the pedagogical foundations underlying the use of innovative technologies in English language teacher education. It analyzes theoretical approaches, methodological principles, digital tools, and the competencies required for effective implementation. The study emphasizes learner-centered pedagogy, constructivist learning theory, communicative language teaching, and digital competence frameworks as the core foundations for integrating technology into teacher preparation programs.
