Addressing critical pain points in the “ English Micro-Major for International Construction Workplace”—including fragmented disciplinary integration, rigid teaching models, and superficial AI adoption—this study proposes a dual-driver teaching innovation framework powered by Backward Design Theory (UbD) and Generative AI. The study examines core principles of UbD and generative AI, analyzes their synergistic compatibility, constructs an UbD-anchored generative AI-driven pedagogy, explores implementation pathways and challenges in micro-credential contexts, and delivers scalable teaching reform blueprints for higher education. This framework drives deep integration of educational technology and instructional design while advancing students’ professional English application and cross-cultural communication competencies.
