Technological Innovation as an Inclusion Strategy in Language Education

Abstract

Technological innovation shapes complex and contrasting scenarios; however, it has demonstrated significant potential to promote inclusion when it is oriented toward reducing educational and social barriers. In the educational field, the integration of digital technologies has expanded opportunities for access, participation, and retention among diverse sectors of population. In particular, in the teaching and learning of English, technology has taken on a central role through the use of digital platforms, multimedia resources, and artificial intelligence–based tools. These technologies make it possible to diversify learning channels, personalize content, and address variability in learning processes and students’ sociocultural contexts.
