Introduction: The rapid development trend in innovative technological solutions significantly impacts societal activities, stimulating global digital transformation processes in the educational environment. Objectives: The article analyses innovative tools within the concept of inclusive technologies for teaching foreign languages in higher education in the digital age. Methods: Several general scientific research methods were used to achieve the research objectives, including abstraction, analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction. Results: Attention is focused on exploring the potential of audio-lingual and audiovisual methods, didactic game solutions, case methods, reproductive methods, thematic studies, linguistic and sociocultural, and project methodologies. It has been proven that using digital educational platforms in educational programmes allows teaching foreign languages to be carried out at a high professional level, stimulating aspects of motivation and effectiveness. The study identifies that implementing innovative approaches in inclusive strategies for teaching foreign languages enables students to gain practical skills through active interaction with various non-standard methods and forms of work. Such methods include brainstorming, project work, role-playing, group work, and several others. It has been found that specific innovative approaches, such as random and cross-learning, learning through argumentation, or embodied learning, form a solid practical basis for the successful future application of acquired knowledge. Conclusions: The article proves that innovative methods of teaching foreign languages within the framework of inclusive educational technology programmes have the potential to create an effective learning environment, ensuring a significant improvement in the quality of higher education
