During the past years, the Faculty of International Education at Foreign Trade University has continuously explored and applied advanced teaching methods with the latest technology. The primary aim of method is promote self-study abilities, improve teaching qualities and cultivate practical skills for students.

• Restructuring the learning process: Flipped Classroom Model

At the Faculty of International Education, the flipped classroom model creates a harmonious combination between students' active self-study and teaching methods through multi-dimensional interaction between lecturers and students. Students not only  join in class to listen to lectures but are encouraged to improve their knowledge before class by reading documents, watching videos, working with groups and participating in online discussions with lecturers. This pro-active approach not only helps students actively exploit and update knowledge but also optimize class time for in-depth discussions, thereby developing critical thinking and working ability Independence - two important factors in the modern work environment.

This model also opens up opportunities for students to apply practical theory, turning knowledge into creative products, thereby improving the ability to apply knowledge and skills to life and work. Lecturers play the role of instructors, stimulating curiosity, creativity and self-study ability, supporting them to develop comprehensively.

• Practical application at the Faculty of International Education - Foreign Trade University

The flipped classroom model has been successfully implemented in the Advertising and Luxury Brand Management subjects of the collaboration Marketing training program between Foreign Trade University and the University of Northampton (UK). A typical example is in the lesson "Storytelling in Luxury Brand Management", students of class M3B used the drama method to both convey the theory of "Storytelling" along with demonstrating real-life illustrative lessons in reality. Before going to class, students work in groups to discuss theoretical content, choose presentation formats, and discuss with instructors. Through the play, "dry" theories are explained simply, and the details in the play make the topic of discussion lively and easy to understand. After the play ends, the lecturer summarizes, discusses in depth and systematizes the theoretical issues that appear in the details of the play as well as encourages students to discuss in order to deepen the other real mappings. The flexible and diverse use of presentation methods not only deepens understanding and theoretical knowledge but also enhances students' critical thinking, creativity and confidence.
