This study explores the pivotal role of innovation in shaping the professional competencies of English language teachers in Uzbekistan’s higher education institutions. It highlights how innovative pedagogical approaches, digital literacy, and international standards such as the CEFR contribute to enhancing teaching effectiveness and educational quality. Drawing on national reforms, theoretical foundations, and international practices, the research identifies key components of teacher competence—methodological, technological, communicative, and reflective—and discusses their interrelation with innovative teaching strategies. The study also outlines recommendations for sustaining teachers’ professional growth through continuous professional development, digital integration, and competency-based education models.
