As a student activity that concerns foreign language and culture fields, we want to provide an interactive and educative learning medium to help our members learn about foreign cultures. We provide a magazine called C-MAGZ, which provides information about our student activities, the programs we have, and the cultures of the countries that SAFEL focuses on. C-MAGZ is one of the programs of the CCU-LM (Cross Cultural Understanding-Learning Media) department at the Foreign Language UKM “SAFEL”. This year, we are still using C-MAGZ as a brand.
This year, C-MAGZ brings the theme “Vagabond: A Journey to Marvelous Places Around the World with a Mind-Breaking Experience“. The theme is similar to Festival Budaya International. The theme is about traveling, and we want our readers to learn some fun facts about foreign countries, which SAFEL focuses on.
The publication of C-MAGZ 2023 on Instagram, Fliphtml5, WhatsApp Group, and distribution of the C-MAGZ to Student Activity Units at Yogyakarta State University was held on August 21, 2023. On the WhatsApp group, all members gave good responses. Also, the magazines are available in the SAFEL secretariat, so for those who want to read them, you can just come to the SAFEL secretariat, which is located on the 2nd floor of the Student Center, Yogyakarta State University.
There are very interesting various contents in C-MAGZ, such as: information about food recommendations and places that must be visited when you go abroad to certain countries; information about events that are held by departments and sub-departments of Foreign Language UKM “SAFEL”, SAFEL Berprestasi, SAFEL Berkarya; information about our foreign traditional costume rental; and many more.
In this edition, we also have a special content in C-MAGZ; it’s called “SAFEL Berkarya”. In this edition, we’re presenting to you some work made by SAFEL’s staff. Through “SAFEL Berkarya”, we hope SAFEL staff can develop their creativity and writing skills.
With the publication of C-MAGZ 2023, we hope that magazine readers can improve their language skills and get insight about foreign countries. Besides that, we also want to build interest in reading media literacy in foreign languages at Yogyakarta State University.
C-MAGZ was created and publicized by the members of CCU-LM staff, from gathering the article material, designing the magazine, and distributing it to other UKM within Yogyakarta State University. Thank you so much to all of the crews who have helped to create C-MAGZ from the start. Also, thank you to all the readers who gave us positive feedback regarding C-MAGZ. We hope C-MAGZ can provide better and more interesting contents next year. See you in C-MAGZ 2024!
