In the context of the New Liberal Arts Construction, application-oriented teaching and the innovation of teaching modes in Business English have been further developed. Due to the advancement of digital and intelligent technologies and dynamic change of industry talent demands, the cultivation of Business English professionals must adapt to the evolving times through multidisciplinary integration, enhancing students' professional skills to gear to industry positions. Faced with issues such as obsolete professional cognition and stiff teaching systems in traditional education, as well as detachment between academia and industry and gap between education and real talent demand, this paper proposes innovative strategies to tackle the challenges of application-oriented teaching reform. It is suggested to update educational ideology, to strengthen multi-disciplinary cooperation, to adopt innovative teaching modes and to deepen cooperation with industries.
