Ms. Huong has studied many books for learning and teaching Vietnamese to foreigners and translated them into Italian due to a lack of textbooks at the university. She has also used the teaching method of using Vietnamese folk music and instruments to inspire a love for traditional music in students
The teacher gives students a chance to learn about Vietnamese culture via studies of Quan ho (love duet) Bac Ninh folk songs, poets Ho Xuan Huong and Nguyen Binh, Vietnamese performing arts including various types of Cheo (traditional opera), cai luong (reformed theater).
She also invited popular artists to participate in online exchanges with students, such as singer Tung Duong, People’s Artist Doan Thanh Binh, cai luong actress Linh Huyen.
Hon Viet (Vietnamese soul) program that took place in February 2021 left a deep impression on people. The performance featuring traditional music, dances, and poems was a learning outcomes report displaying students’ results. Hon Viet is the first program that was held by students of the new subject of Ca' Foscari University.
