The recent decades have been marked by an active transition from purely traditional forms of learning in higher education institutions to innovative methods that allow one to obtain more efficient results and increase students' motivation for learning. The implementation of innovative processes in the Russian education system is fostering a swift transition of the pedagogical sphere to a new level. The study of the significance of the teacher's innovative potential in the modern paradigm of innovative development in higher education has been conducted in the Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University) at the Department of Foreign Languages. The sample consisted of 39 teachers of foreign languages. As a result of the study, the following topics have been investigated: what teachers understand by innovations in education, the attitude towards innovations in the institute and the work with the learning management system during the pandemic and the self-isolation period. The author has described the innovative tools that teachers use in their pedagogic activity and evaluated the qualities that form teachers' innovative potential. The study has helped to identify the key areas for developing the innovative potential of the teachers at the institute.
