Against the backdrop of deepening globalization and the construction of "New Liberal Arts," cultivating interdisciplinary talents with solid legal literacy and outstanding English communication capabilities has become an urgent need to serve the country’s foreign-related rule of law strategy. Addressing the predicament where college English education and legal professional training operate in silos, this paper integrates Educational Ecology, Sociocultural Theory, and Ecological Affordance Theory to construct an interdisciplinary learning ecosystem for "English +Law" with "translation-writing integration" as the core driving mechanism. Educational Ecology provides a macroscopic and dynamic "habitat" design blueprint, Sociocultural Theory reveals the micro-interactive mechanism of learning, and Ecological Affordance Theory serves as a bridge connecting the macro and micro levels. This paper systematically elaborates on the construction paths of the ecosystem, focusing on demonstrating how a spiral-upward "translation-writing integration" activity system transforms static knowledge "affordances" into dynamic international communication-oriented comprehensive legal English application capabilities. The model aims to break disciplinary barriers, stimulate students’ subjectivity, and realize their role transformation from language learners to narrators of international rule of law, providing theoretical reference and practical paradigms for cultivating foreign-related rule of law talents in the new era.
