Research on the Development and Application of Digital Resources for Business English Courses in the Context of Cross-border E-commerce

Abstract

With the advent of the global digital economy era, cross-border e-commerce has become a significant form of international trade, presenting new requirements for the cultivation of Business English talents. Traditional Business English instruction faces systematic challenges in terms of capability structures, resource provision, and teaching models, creating an urgent need to establish a digital resource system compatible with industry development. Based on situated learning theory and constructivist pedagogy, this study systematically explores the development strategies and application pathways for digital resources in Business English within the context of cross-border e-commerce. The research proposes that resource construction should adhere to the principles of situational authenticity and modularity, employing industry-education collaboration and agile development methods, while establishing quality assurance and dynamic update mechanisms. Regarding curriculum integration, it is necessary to rely on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge framework and achieve deep integration of resources and teaching through diversified application models. This paper constructs a comprehensive framework spanning needs analysis, resource development, and teaching application, providing a theoretical basis and practical reference for the digital transformation of Business English courses.
