The innovative strategy for inclusive learning aims to ensure that each student, regardless of their abilities, background, or learning needs, has fair opportunities to access a high-quality education. This educational philosophy aims to provide an atmosphere where each student can succeed intellectually, socially, and emotionally while acknowledging the diversity of learners. Since teaching English is crucial to academic success and efficient communication in many educational systems throughout the world, the need for inclusive education is particularly apparent. Proficiency in the English language is essential for students’ growth and prospects, in addition to their academic success. The study reviews current literature, identifies effective inclusive strategies, and discusses their implementation in language classrooms.
