An innovative learning environment (ILE) is an environment that is able to develop and get adjusted as and when there is an update on new and already known educational practices, thus being aimed at the future perspective. Access to quality language education is an indispensable condition for successful implementation for graduates in the future. Collaboration in the ILE offers all participants of the educational process flexibility, freedom of action, iniquitousness and a possible ongoing improvement in all types of language and speech activities. Our paper considers IOS within the learner-centered paradigm. The goals and objectives of the ILE have been defined, effective educational platforms allowing creating modern educational content and conducting classes at a qualitatively new level have been identified. The definition of the term ILE has also been expanded. In addition, we have conducted a study on estimating theoretical understanding of the ILE among foreign language teachers in an engineering university and the possibility of its creation. The purpose of the study was to validate the hypothesis that teachers do not have or have little idea of the possibilities of ILE for the qualitative mastery of students' language competencies has not been confirmed. However, a problem has been identified – insufficient attention is paid to the spatial organization of the ILE which is one of the main conditions for its implementation.
