Empirical Research Report on AI-Enabled "Basic-Professional Integration" English Teaching Evaluation in the School of Economics and Management
With the deep integration of AI into higher education, the "Basic-Professional Integration" (BPI) model has become key to solving the disconnection between foundational English skills and professional competencies in Economics and Management (EM) English teaching. This study adopted a mixed-methods design, dividing 100 EM students into an experimental group (AI-enhanced BPI pedagogy) and a control group (traditional teaching), with 10 trained instructors participating. Results show the AI-enabled BPI model significantly improved students’ language proficiency (25% higher improvement in IELTS-style assessments, 0.8-point average score increase) and professional skills (80% demonstrating advanced business proposal drafting competency). AI also built a dynamic evaluation system, reduced teachers’ workload by 40%, and increased student engagement by 35%. This study identifies key challenges and proposes solutions, providing a replicable reference for EM English teaching reform.
