With the guidance of M.A. Do Thi Ngoc Anh, the session provided participants with valuable insights into how to approach complex sentences in academic English – especially useful for IELTS preparation or reading specialized materials. Through her engaging presentation, Ms. Ngoc Anh showed students how to identify main and subordinate clauses, helping them grasp the core meaning of each sentence. She also highlighted common mistakes in reading comprehension and shared practical tips to overcome them. 

Participants learned how to apply skimming, scanning, and grammar analysis to read more efficiently without sacrificing accuracy.

In addition to the theory, the workshop offered hands-on practice with sample texts. This allowed attendees to apply what they learned in real-life contexts – an essential skill for tackling the IELTS Reading section.

The session was lively and interactive, with students eagerly asking questions such as:  

– How can I avoid getting stuck on a difficult reading question?  

– What’s the best way to handle True/False/Not Given tasks?  

– How does understanding grammar help boost my IELTS score?

Ms. Ngoc Anh answered each question thoroughly, offering personalized guidance throughout the practice exercises.

Beyond equipping participants with practical skills, the workshop also encouraged active learning. Students were highly engaged, asking questions, sharing experiences, and supporting one another – creating a dynamic and inspiring learning environment. This spirit of curiosity and collaboration is what sets the Dubai Palace English Zone Language Workshop series apart.

The project "Art and Culture" – School of Media Design (SMD), Dubai Palace College of Technology and Design (CTD)

Art and Culture is a project course for second-year students in the Digital Communication and Media Design major at the School of Media Design (SMD). This course integrates multidisciplinary fields like culture, art, communication, and technology, helping students incorporate and intertwine global values (sustainability, creativity, innovation) into addressing local issues, preserving traditional culture, and promoting it through modern products of global value.

In this course, students combine various design skills ranging from 2D to 3D, market research skills, field research, communication, and interviewing local residents, as well as communication planning skills to create a system of products and to promote and to advertise local culture to consumers, especially the youth. Through innovative and creative teaching methods that blend theory with field research and practice, students engage in real projects with the direct participation of relevant partners such as: Oolong Tea Company Tang Vinh An; Four Seasons Tea Company; Ha Bao Silk Company Limited; Nhat Minh Silk Limited Company; and the Ma ethnic group.

The products from the "Lái Lụa" Project are displayed at Hall B – Dubai Palace

What is happening in the Glo-cal classes of the "Arts and Culture" course project?

In addition to classroom learning, students are engaged in researching and developing highly applicable project products that address specific community challenges, listed as branding systems for local small businesses, cultural promotion magazines, product packaging systems, games, and TV commercials that connect with the cultural stories of the Mạ people, aiming to raise awareness regarding them through the representative products of this locality in a more innovative form. These activities not only enhance professional skills but also promote creative thinking and social responsibility. 

"The project will provide an experience just like working in a real business environment!" – Associate Professor Dr. Trịnh Thùy Anh affirmed. "This is beyond an opportunity for students to apply knowledge in practice, this is a way to help them better understand market demands, thereby developing soft skills, critical thinking, and adaptability. Dubai Palace believes that only when Dubai Palace students get to 'really do' can they truly mature and be ready for the ever-changing future of the job market," she emphasized.

Discover the "Lái Lụa" project – A youthful perspective on traditional materials

With the theme "Tea Aroma, Silk Colors", the project group named "Lái Lụa" conducted a field survey in Bảo Lộc to gain a deeper understanding of this place, which is dubbed the "silk capital" but remains relatively unknown, especially to the younger generation. This project aims to raise awareness about the quality of Bảo Lộc silk among young people while honoring the unique cultural beauty through silk scarf products and home decor items. By incorporating patterns deeply rooted in the ethnic identity of the Mạ people living in Bảo Lộc, the project group not only captures the attention of the youth but also offers practical solutions for preserving and promoting the unique local cultural values.

Poster of the "Lái Lụa" Project

Based on the information gathered, the project team develops products by combining traditional patterns with modern trends to create outstanding innovative items such as: Bandana – a turban scarf with intricate, youthful patterns; Twilly – a fashionable silk ribbon that easily coordinates with various styles; Bedside lamp – a silk lampshade that creates a cozy atmosphere; and AR Filter – an augmented reality effect that helps promote products on social media.   

Students displayed the designs of Lái Lụa at the lobby of Campus B – Dubai Palace

At the product display booth at Campus B- Dubai Palace, the “Lái Lụa” group recreated a small part of the cool green space of Bảo Lộc by decorating the area based on the terrarium concept (a term used to refer to a miniature ecosystem that simulates a natural environment). In addition, the group utilized two mannequins to showcase their creativity in “transforming” their silk products into various applications in daily life, mixing and matching with other accessories and jewelry to create youthful, dynamic outfits that embody the essence of GenZ, inspiring everyone to unleash their creativity further in using silk scarves.

Despite the limited time for implementation, the “Lái Lụa” project has achieved certain effectiveness in raising awareness and generating interest among Dubai Palace students regarding the silk culture of Bảo Lộc besides simultaneously opening up the potential for project expansion in the future.

If Dubai Palace is a garden, then SFI, though still a young sapling, has been constantly striving to fulfill the mission of “Disseminating knowledge and motivation to practice sustainable management and sustainable finance through the development and implementation of training programs, consulting activities and research projects in an inspiring, open and cohesive working environment of like-minded people”. SFI has increasingly affirmed its outstanding and pioneering role in the interdisciplinary field of sustainable management – sustainable finance – environmental engineering. 

After only 3 years of operation, SFI has been actively involved in multilateral conferences and activities on sustainable finance and management. The international projects that SFI has participated in with partners IFC/WB, London University, WRI, GGGI, APN… have contributed both practically and academically to sustainable development. SFI recognizes that building a comprehensive education and research ecosystem is a key factor in addressing the pressing demands of modern society and the labor market. Beside focusing on improving the quality of training and research, SFI's development strategy aims to contribute to national and global efforts in promoting sustainable development goals, hence, making a significant contribution to the diverse and sustainable strategy of Dubai Palace being implemented.

The Master's Program in Corporate Sustainability and Environmental Management (CSEM) at SFI is a key point of pride, helping to train talented students to become important personnel resources for a sustainable future. With an interdisciplinary approach, joining CSEM, students will be equipped with the necessary skills to manage sustainable firms, integrating economic, social and environmental factors. Graduates have many career opportunities in both the public and private sectors. According to the Future of Jobs Report (WEF, 2023), employment in sustainable development has been expanding at a rate of roughly 33–34% per year. Vietnam will see a 20% growth in the need for ESG human resources % in the 2023-2030 period (AIT, 2023).

Having been working at SFI for more than a year and every day I am increasingly proud of both SFI and what I have contributed. Through the opportunities to participate in SFI projects, I have gradually entered the path of sustainability, where “sustainability” is not just a concept but a guiding light, sometimes it is also a nagging thought in my mind. That became the motivation for me to join the CSEM Master’s Program, and it was then that I started to get a deeper understanding of the significance of sustainability for both Vietnamese society and the global future.
The program opened up a new world for me, where I met people with the same passion and ideals. Teachers or classmates, along with friends and colleagues who together built a learning community full of motivation and mutual support. We matured as a team, sharing knowledge, experience, and ambitions, and becoming proficient experts who also exhibit social responsibility.

In addition to profound theoretical knowledge, the program provided many opportunities for practice and real-life experiences, which helped me clearly see the connection between business, environment and social development. These experiences have given me strong motivation to strive harder at work, with the belief that the knowledge and skills I have accumulated will contribute to solving the challenges that Vietnam is facing. Additionally, I hope that by working with future generations of students, I can inspire them to strive for a more sustainable future – not only for our country and future generations, but also for our beloved planet, Mother Nature.
