This literature review critically analyzes innovative strategies for updating the teaching practices of university professors of Language and Literature in the face of digitalization and institutional vulnerability. The study stems from a clear need: to understand that innovation is not a purely technical matter, but rather a complex reconfiguration marked by the clash between disciplinary tradition, technological advancement, and the structural inequalities of Latin American higher education. Through a meticulous examination of the literature, three key areas are identified: the persistence of traditional, teacher-centered classes; the scope and limitations of active methodologies and virtual learning environments; and the material conditions that shape change in universities. Simultaneously, the article delves into pedagogical resilience in the face of emergencies, using Ecuadorian universities recently impacted by crises as a case study. The findings demonstrate that, although innovative strategies enhance student autonomy and collaborative learning, their actual success depends on fundamental factors: material support, teacher training, and institutional backing. Therefore, educational innovation is revealed as an unequal and situated process. It is concluded that updating this teaching method requires a critical and humanistic approach, capable of integrating pedagogical innovation with cultural mediation and addressing current social inequalities.
