Abstract

This monograph explores how the educational transformation of the 21st century, driven by technological advances and new social demands, is redefining teaching profiles. It focuses on pedagogical innovation, especially in the training of foreign language teachers (ELE), analyzing how educational methodologies and technologies are adapting teaching to the needs of contemporary students. In addition, it addresses the importance of more inclusive and flexible assessments, which move the focus away from standardized tests and promote a continuous and dynamic approach. It highlights the relevance of teaching competence in specific contexts, such as early childhood and higher education, and the value of approaches such as project-based and collaborative learning. The COVID-19 pandemic is another key topic, as it forced a rethinking of traditional methodologies and accelerated the implementation of distance learning. It also discusses how teacher education should promote inclusion and diversity, preparing future educators to face global challenges. In summary, the monograph invites reflection on how innovative teacher profiles can transform the educational system, emphasizing creative methodologies, inclusive assessment and adaptability to change.
