Abstract
International Business Law is the core compulsory course for the Business English majors, and students are confronted with multiple challenges, such as specialized legal knowledge, the scarcity of English teaching materials and internship opportunities. Based on the integration of AIGC with in-class teaching, this research explores the innovative and reformative teaching of International Business Law through the construction of the new four-pillar instructional model, which combines the AIGC-assisted teaching, personalized language practice, virtual internship, and multi-model assessment. This research has been ongoing for two years. With the Business English majors of Baoding University as the subjects, the study collected data via such methods as a quasi-experiment, questionnaire, and interview. The results show that the AIGC-assisted teaching model effectively improves students’ professional knowledge acquisition, legal English proficiency, and case analysis skills. This study provides empirical evidence and practical implications for AIGC integration in ESP courses as well as curriculum innovation in Business English education.
