        abstract = {English language education has undergone a profound transformation over the past few decades due to rapid technological advances, evolving learner profiles, and shifting educational priorities. In contemporary classrooms, teachers are expected to address diverse learning needs while maintaining students’ motivation, engagement, and achievement. Traditional teacher-centred methods characterised by lecture-based instruction, rote memorisation, and limited learner autonomy are no longer adequate to meet the demands of 21st-century learners. Educators now recognise that meaningful language learning grows out of interactive, participatory, and learner-driven experiences. This has resulted in the adoption of pedagogical innovations that integrate creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and technology. This study examines the effectiveness of learner-centred, technology-enhanced strategies, such as peer tutoring, language games, creative activities, and digital platforms including Padlet, Kahoot, and Quizizz, in enhancing language learning.  Findings from the survey on 45 B.Ed. trainees using a questionnaire about innovative classroom try-outs demonstrate significant improvements in vocabulary acquisition, communication skills, creativity, and student participation. The study concludes that pedagogical innovations not only enrich classroom dynamics but also foster holistic language development and 21st-century skills. Recommendations include integrating creativity, experiential learning, and collaboration systematically into the curriculum to strengthen English language education.},
