摘要

This study investigates the effects of Foreign Language Intelligent Teaching (FLIT)-integrated blended learning (FBL) on Business English proficiency and student engagement in a Chinese university context. Using a quasi-experimental design with 472 undergraduates, the research compares an experimental group (n = 240) exposed to AI-driven blended instruction with a control group (n = 232) taught via conventional methods. ANCOVA results indicated significantly higher post-test scores in the experimental group across reading (F(1, 466) = 26.90, p < .001, η2 = .055), listening (F(1, 466) = 36.20, p < .001, η2 = .072), writing (F(1, 466) = 47.70, p < .001, η2 = .093), and speaking (F(1, 466) = 34.49, p < .001, η2 = .069). Independent samples t-tests revealed significantly greater cognitive (t(470) = 3.73, p < .001, d = .344) and behavioral engagement (t(470) = 7.09, p < .001, d = .653) in the experimental group, while emotional engagement showed a marginal difference (Welch’s t(426) = − 1.95, p = .051, d = − .18). These findings provide robust empirical support for the pedagogical effectiveness of AI-enhanced instruction in improving Business English outcomes and learner engagement. This study explores innovative methods in language assessment and technology-enhanced language teaching by providing empirical validation of an AI-driven learning and assessment platform for Business English instruction.
