A flipped classroom approach has been gaining increasing popularity with both teachers and students on the ground that it not only motivates students to complete the tasks outside school, but also enables students to take advantages of the affordances offered by digital technology. In recent years, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into flipped learning environments has further expanded these affordances, offering personalized, adaptive, and interactive learning experiences. This paper aims to capitalize on this approach to reforming the teaching of comprehensive business English for enhancing students learning experience thus to improve their learning performance. The paper points out the current teaching status quo of comprehensive business English, analyzes the advantages of a flipped classroom approach enhanced by AI tools in teaching this course, then introduces the teaching design for such an approach. At last, this paper comes to a conclusion that with this approach to teaching comprehensive business English, teachers could make students more engaged in classroom by answering their questions and clearing their doubts, more importantly, by providing opportunities for students to demonstrate their business skills in English with AI support, students are highly motivated to get involved in both the teacher-created online teaching resources and in-class activities.
