Abstract
This article examines the impact of digital learning platforms on inclusive English language teaching in higher education. It focuses on how digital technologies can improve accessibility, support diverse learning needs, facilitate individualized learning, and increase student participation. Particular attention is given to the pedagogical use of learning management systems, multimedia resources, interactive tools, digital assessment, and assistive technologies. The article also highlights challenges related to digital inequality, accessibility, and teachers’ digital competence. It argues that the effectiveness of digital platforms depends on their purposeful integration with inclusive pedagogical practices.References
