제 8 호 2nd Achievement Review of Web Version of the SM Herald

Kicker: COVER STORY (REVIEW) 2nd Achievement Review of Web Version of the SM Herald + Interview with SMU Students & The SM Herald Seniors By Sarah Chae, Editor-in-Chief/Dong-Wook Kim, Editor/Yoo-Jung Kim, Editor sarah3fran1@naver.com / smartpodo@kakao.com / kyjmimi121@naver.com It has been a year since the SM Herald has started off to publish their webzine on the internet. The choice that they made is daring because media is similar to papers more than electronics. Due to a transition of platforms, we would like to know the thoughts of the subscribers. From the perspective of students who go to webzine to read articles, what is the advantage of webzines more than the paper version? What are the disadvantages? We would like to write an article based on the survey done with subscribers of the SM Herald and the interview with the Herald’s graduates for better feedback to grow successfully as a webzine. Q1. What do you think is a benefit in SM Herald webzine? The common answer of students about the benefits of the webzine format was that it is helpful to see the weekly expression when you access the webzine. Weekly expression is a pop-up window with an English expression. Herald editors take turns to share the expressions every week. As new expressions are updated every week, it would be another fun feature that the students can enjoy every time they go in the website. This feature can be possible with the characteristic to be accessible anywhere with an electronic device. Following up next, subscribers responded that it is easy to know school news with the Sangmyung news section. Sangmyung news section is an independent space that students can get to know about Sangmyung information only. Compared to other sections, the length of the article is short and highly readable. You would want to check out the Sangmyung news section if you are back to school and do not know what is going on in school. The latter benefits of the Sangmyung Herald are that the Cover story is fun and helpful and students are curious after they see the thumbnail picture of the article or the title. Different from a newspaper, webzine allocates the articles by the issues. Article’s thumbnail pictures and the text formats are separated, so it is clear which article is popular with the students. This can lure students to read articles with an interesting thumbnail picture. Q2. How can we improve the benefits to be a better webzine? There are no perfect websites nor newspapers. It is common to collect its reader’s feedback to improve to be a better media. We also collected the thoughts of the subscriber’s thoughts on what can be much better to improve. A lot of students’ opinion is to more publicize the webzine. We are informing the students by texts that the Herald has been published. This text is sent four times a year. However, a lot of students thought that we have a lack of publicizing the Herald’s webzine. Some students do not know whether the Herald exists; thus, we should find a practical way to spread the webzine to students. There is an essay contest held by the Herald, but there should be more events so the editors can communicate with students. An idea of doing a survey with students about what topics that they want to read can be a breakthrough. The readers also pointed out about the readability of the webzine. They said that the webzine should include more bold font styles or more colors. The articles contain useful information, but students give up while reading black text sets. Some students suggest to make posters instead of a format of article for good readability. Subscribers complained about the single language of the webzine. Since the Herald is written only in English, students who are not fluent in English struggle to read the articles. It can be a good idea to have a translated version that comes with articles. The SM Herald, which asked students of Sangmyung University, heard more wishes of students. Especially, we tried to listen to the students' opinions in detail by dividing them into articles, events and competitions. From now on, we will describe the opinions of students at Sangmyung University about the SM Herald Webzine. Q3. What do you think is lacking in the SM Herald Webzine? The most common opinion was that it was regrettable that there was no schedule, event or competition promotion by the SM Herald. Next came the opinion that it was regrettable that there was no space to comment on the articles. We felt here a lack of communication with readers of Sangmyung University. The third most common opinion is that overall webzines and articles are not readable. We also thought that we could improve the webzine design by collecting opinions on this issue and discuss how to write articles again. Q4. How can we improve our deficiencies in the SM Herald Webzine? We are going to have an internal meeting to improve the deficiencies, but we have asked our readers at Sangmyung University how we can improve. There were the most opinions about the lack of publicity. There were many opinions that it would be good to continue communication by creating a space for commenting or promoting by holding many events. Also, there were many requests for a design change so that the webzine link could go directly to the SM Herald on the school website. In response, we will request a design change to add a comment space to the webzine and consider posting a link on the website of Sangmyung University so that our readers can visit the SM Herald more often. In addition, we plan to communicate continuously through SNS. For improvement on events and competitions, please see below. Q5. Is there any event that you want the SM Herald to hold? SM herald is conducting SM Herald promotion day every September. This year, we could not proceed with our event because of COVID-19. As indicated in the survey, we plan to hold more events to improve the SM Herald's lack of publicity. Thus, we asked Sangmyung University students about the idea of the event. The most voted event was the SM Herald Christmas event. It was followed by Halloween and multicultural events. Based on your opinions, we thought that we should hold many events to communicate with our students and let them know about the SM Herald. Next year, we will hold an event twice a year to approach you intimately. Q6. Is there any contest you want the SM Herald to hold? SM Herald is holding an essay contest every year in November. This essay contest is a contest in which three keywords of SM Herald articles are used. The essay has to be written using those keywords. This year, the competition was conducted by writing and submitting an essay under the Corona situation. When we asked the students about the competition that the students hope to conduct, they were hoping for the quiz competition based on our articles the most. It was followed by making 5 acrostic poemsbased on articles from the SM Herald articles. Next year, we will consider a quiz competition based on SM Herald articles so that students can read it with interest. We sincerely thank all the students who participated in the survey. Until now, we looked at opinions of the SMU students. From now on, we will go through opinions of seniors, especially seniors of the SM Herald. We also asked seniors for some advice for school life and what this school meant to them, so do not take your eyes off just yet! 1. More than a year has passed since the SM Herald launched this website. Could you tell us how you think about it? What got better and what needs more attention? If you have any ideas, what could be fixed? Kwon Na-young (32nd class): First of all, I think it was a good idea to think of the ‘Weekly Expression’. However, rather than making it as a pop-up, I think it would be better to put it on the bottom or on the first page of the site. When I entered the site from the computer, the pop-up window did not appear, and when I went in from the mobile site the pop-up window did not appear from the second time. I think it would be okay to make the font size a little larger. Increasing the size of the letters will increase the readability when it is read from mobile devices. Currently, one expression a week is being shown in a pop-up. Kim Jong-woo (35th class): Hello, I am Kim Jong-woo from the 35th SM Herald class and I majored in English Education from 2011. I mainly wrote articles about politics. Professor Samuel Denny told me that the SM Herald turned into a webzine. I have not received any articles since I graduated, so it was really nice that I could easily get my hands on the SM Herald. Let’s move on to the good and bad things about the webzine. As I said, the good thing is that it is easy to access. I tried to switch our news‘paper’ into a webzine too, but it was not easy for us as we were reporters, and at the same time, students. However, the flaw of the webzine is also accessibility. When the SM Herald was made of paper, there were newspapers all over the school, so students could be attracted to the cover. Now, only students who know the existence of webzines can access them. Therefore, promoting has now become more important. When I read newspapers, I am used to reading from the first article to the last, in one scoop and all together. It is hard to do this on the web version of the SM Herald. For people, like me, who are familiar with the paper copy, I think that this would also be a downside. There was always time made to pick up typos after each publication because they could not be fixed in case of the paper copy. However, in case of the webzine I think it is good that typos could be fixed immediately after they have been found. When you write articles for the paper copy of the SM Herald, you could make your own unique article through the design process. It looks hard to show off each article’s character with the web version. I think it would be good to use more of the advantages of the web SM Herald. Playing background music or videos related to the newspaper, using the mobility and linking to other websites, or creating a communication channel with readers, such as making a vote on related events would be a good way. When the SM Herald was a paper copy, you could make your own unique article through the design process. Lee Ji-sun (39th class): First of all, I was surprised to see how readable the pictures and the arrangement of the text was. It was very neat and the font gave off the feel of an English newspaper, and it was good too. Overall, everything was great. However, the uploaded pictures looked like it was not adjusted enough (the ratio and size), so I think it would be better if the size of the pictures could be increased and the ratio fixed to be the same with the original version. I do not know how the SM Herald is being promoted because I am a graduate, but I think it would be good to make a poster image and put the QR code of the website on it. Lee Eun-ji (41st class): All the articles were about interesting topics, but among them, the content of the cover story was very informative and helpful. In the recent edition, the cover story talked about tips when using the library, and this actually contained information covered by the library’s information utilization lecture. Especially, foreign students may find it difficult to get their hands on or understanding these lectures if they are poor at Korean. The detailed explanations in the article will be very helpful to them. In addition, through the fact that at least 1,000 views per article were recorded, I was able to know that the SM Herald is making efforts to secure and make a lot of readers come in. One thing I was sad about was that there was not a lot of student participation in the debate article and in the comments. The advantage of the Webzine is that it is easy for students to access. Therefore, I think it would be great if there was a communication channel for students to share opinions after reading the articles. I think it would be good to prepare events regularly where the Herald gives prizes to students who post their opinions in the comments or debate section. If students are reluctant to expose their real names, I think it would be good to use the Everytime app to communicate and share posts. 2. What does the SM Herald and Sangmyung University mean to you? Kwon Na-young: When I look back on my days in university, I think it (being a part of the SM Herald) was the best thing I did. Including Professor Samuel Denny, I still keep in touch with the SM Herald members at that time. The person who lives with me right now is also someone who I met in the Herald. All the precious people I met at university seem to have come from the SM Herald. Kim Jong-woo: Talking about the Herald reminds me of the old days. When I was a reporter, my seniors said that they cannot remember anything other than the Herald when they look back on their life in university. That is true. As time passes after I graduate, we forget most of our seniors and classmates except for the closest ones. However, the Herald alumni seem to last quite a long time. I got married to a senior in the SM Herald, and our friends sang the wedding song and did the host for us. I just hope you get along well with each other because your relationships as seniors and juniors in the Herald can last for a long time. Lee Ji-sun: Actually, I was too busy this year to pay attention to the SM Herald. However, it was good to know that the Herald members seemed to be improving. I remember the moments when I participated in the idea and review meetings and wrote articles. I felt proud every moment. Lee Eun-ji: I experienced a small society at the SM Herald. I found out that it is difficult to satisfy students’ needs when writing articles and preparing events. Whenever I had a hard time, I was able to overcome the crisis with the director’s advice and brilliant ideas of the SM Herald members. If it was not for the SM Herald, would I have had an opportunity to prepare and think of something to satisfy the majority? Thanks to that, the SM Herald gave me tough but meaningful times other than just being busy with my studies and assignments, and that helped me become a mature person. Sangmyung University served as a fence and helped me stay on the path whenever I was in crisis or about to go astray. Whenever I asked for help, SMU always helped out appropriately, which helped me stay in good shape. Thank you, SMU! 3. Is there anything you want to say to the Sangmyung University and the SM Herald students? Kwon Na-young: First, to my juniors in the SM Herald, I want to say that coming into the SM Herald was a great choice (to you). During your time in the Herald, I hope you can do your best without any regrets. In 2009, when I was in the second year of university, I became Editor-in-chief. Due to some circumstances I had to become Editor-in-chief even though I was in the lower grades. I still remember what the Editor-in-chief who seated me in their place said to me, “*Position maketh the person.” Thanks to what the chief said, I gained courage and was able to lead the SM Herald. In some cases, you may have the right person for a certain position, but sometimes that is not the case. By taking the role, you have the opportunity to grow into the right person for a position. Please make good use of your time. You can study English or meet various people and broaden your sight of view. Although the SM Herald was just a small *press in a school back then, I was able to meet many people in society and interview them under the name of “press.” Looking back, it seems that the Herald activities were just like working for a small company, so it was also a practice of life out in the society for me. *Position maketh the person: Your position makes you who you are. *Press: Newspapers are referred to as the ‘press’. Kim Jong-woo: I know there is a saying that seniors should stay quiet and just open their wallet, but I sure talked a lot. Finally, I want to say a last thing as a reporter at the Herald and as a senior in life. First, to the Herald juniors, do not forget that you are a journalist. Journalists should tell the truth and become witnesses of the era. Keep a close eye on power and pay attention with a warm-heart to the weak. This is what I learned by meeting the two journalists Choi Seung-ho and the*late Lee Yong-ma while working as a reporter in the Herald. The level of freedom of speech is high but reliability and trust level is deep down for the press. All kinds of unqualified and rotten journalists are all over the place. It could be hard to be a reporter/journalist in times like this. However, to tell the truth, you can be proud of it. You can be confident and you can stay strong in the face of truth. As a senior in life, I want to share some words of my favorite singer, Kim Chang-wan. “Do not get caught up in your youth.” You are living one of the most brilliant, bright times of your life. You can shine by working as a reporter, but you can also glow by studying or even by just going out and having fun. I hope you spend at least some moments doing something you want to do, not just investing for your future all of the time. *Late: You use late when you are talking about someone who is dead, especially someone who has died recently. Lee Ji-sun: The time in the Herald is the most memorable part of my university life, which I guess means that I was very fond of the things I did in the SM Herald. Most of the SM Herald friends that I remember must have already or will graduate, but I hope everyone takes all the good memories with them just like me. For those who I have never met, I hope you can make your dreams come true and keep your passion bright. Lee Eun-ji: The SM Herald has jumped over the hurdle and changed the format of the newspaper into a webzine. That is a tough job, but the SM Herald has done a great job with it. I am sure the potential of the SM Herald is limitless. I also think that because we have done well so far, we will be able to resolve any difficulties in the future in a positive way. If there is a junior who needs my help from the Herald, I will always be waiting for you, so please feel free to contact me. To the juniors in SMU who must have been burned out with exhaustion because of the corona virus, I want to say that it is normal to feel helpless when it is difficult to do keep up a normal life. In times like this, especially, you need to make time to concentrate on yourself, and take the time to take care of yourself in ways such as writing a diary, meditating, and exercising. Through a survey with fellow SMU students and interviews with the SM Herald seniors, we found out what was good and what needs to be fixed in the SM Herald webzine.The SM Herald appreciates the support all readers have given us. We will have a meeting and make sure we can make a space for readers to communicate and hold lots of events, too. Keep checking on us until the next review, and we will try hard to make your feedback show up in the next edition’s webzine. If you have more questions or feedback for us, please send anything to the SM Herald Kakao Channel (https://pf.kakao.com/_meEFV , ID: thesmherald) or please write a post on the YOUR VOICE board (https://www.smu.ac.kr/press/voice.do).

제 6 호 Useful English Study Tips for Sangmyung University Students

Kicker: COVER STORY (STUDYING ENGLISH) Useful English Study Tips for Sangmyung University Students Useful Websites, SMU Lectures/English Programs & MORE! By Sarah Chae, Editor-in-Chief, Eugene Ha, Reporter sarah3fran1@naver.com, eugine16@naver.com During the semester,it is difficult to study English professionally and there are a lot of students who want to study properly in this summer vacation. Many of our readers read our newspaper to study English, and we were asked to write an article about how to study English too. In this article, I want to tell you useful ways to help you study English during summer vacation.For our readers, we would like to tell you many useful ways to learn English effectively during this summer vacation. How to study English? How should we study English? In general, when we study English, we divide into four areas. It is speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Some will speak well, some will write well, and others will listen well. There is no order in English and there is no set stage, so you must first figure out what you are vulnerable to and what you are good at in this field. Once you are done understanding, you can study by keeping up with what you're good at while filling in what you are lacking. The SM Herald would like to tell you how to study English in each area. Speaking First of all, it is necessary to try to speak confidently without being afraid of English. Do not try to avoid saying that you think you are going to be wrong and that your pronunciation is going to be bad. Even if it does not make sense, we have to keep talking to convey the meaning. Since there are so many applications these days, I will introduce one. ▶Speak application This app introduces words and sentences that are frequently used in various situations such as daily life, travel, and flight by a short video. It is a good application to study while moving simply rather than feeling that you are studying. It also allows you to communicate with other people by leaving questions and receiving feedback in real time. Listening We can study English listening in various ways. If you have a favorite American drama or a foreign movie, I recommend listening to it without subtitles. There will be vocabulary that you can keep listening for. Then, it is one of the ways to train your ear and to have fun studying, predicting what it means in context. And students who study TOEIC could buy a textbook for the TOEIC listening part and solve problems together while listening to pronunciation of various countries. Another thing is if you like English pop songs, let's write lyrics while listening to them. If there is a word you do not know, you can naturally listen to and speak English if you sing along with it. These exercises do not work in a day, so let's continue to exposeourselves to English and make it easy and fun. A useful site for listening practice is BBC Learning English. ▶ BBC Learning English website (https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/) This site is provided by BBC, a public broadcaster in the U.K., and has various contents such as expressions, pronunciation, and textual explanations used in news articles. Also there is an application, so you can easily move to your cell phone and study English enjoyably while watching videos. Reading Reading is not just about the ability to read what is written. Reading and even understanding what it means are included in the reading area. Therefore, you should know and remember various words, expressions, and phrases. Let’s read English books and translations together. Then you can learn how the words and sentences expressed in English books were translated into Korean translation and see how they expressed the same contents in words. Let’s read English articles. Let's read The New York Times or our Herald articles and think about the overall flow and content, and keep reading while checking if you do not know any of the terms used in each paragraph. There is a site related to English articles. ▶Breaking News English website You can read English articles tailored to your English skills, have recent articles, fill in the blanks under them, and learn them enjoyably. ▶English-American literature classical text collection site This is a site that organizes famous overseas English-American literary works such as Shakespeare and links to sites with multiple texts. I think it would be good to look for books here that are difficult to buy in person. Writing In fact, the writing part can be the most difficult part. Because grammar should also be studied. But you should not be afraid to write because of grammar. Like speaking, even if you make a grammar mistake, it can gradually be developed by writing various writings, such as the habit of continuing to write and writing essays on your own. ▶English Maven is a site where you can study English grammar by yourself. In this part of the article, the SM Herald got help from our fellow SMU students and readers. We asked SMU students about their own tips for studying English, and what was hard for them. Let’s take a look at some advice, SMU’s English study programs, and SMU’s recommended English lectures from the SM Herald and fellow students. The Difficulties of Studying English Why do you study English? Some of us study English because we are interested in it, but I think most of us study it for a similar reason. Before you became an SMU student, maybe you have studied it to get into University, and now you are probably studying English to get high TOEIC/TOEFL scores to get a job. In order to get good results, you need to know what is difficult when you study English. Let’s see what fellow SMU students think is difficult when they study English. 57% of the students said speaking in English is difficult, and about 27% of the students said English grammar is difficult. Tips for Studying English Motivation* and having fun is very important when you have to study or learn something. Around 30% of the students said that they watch or listen to English dramas, movies, or songs. On the other side, some said that they need a curriculum and tight plan for studying English. Take a look at various types of tips for studying English from the picture below. *Motivation: Your motivation for doing something is what causes you to want to do it. SMU’s Recommended English lectures Students from both campuses said that the basic liberal arts lectures are suitable for lower grade students (freshmen and sophomores) who are sick and tired of English from the College Scholastic Ability Test(수능). Take a look below for more helpful English lectures fromthe Seoul and Cheonan Campuses. SMU’s English Study Programs Going overseas as an exchange student or for language training is a good way to study the English language and different cultures. SMU has both of those programs, but we all know that now is not the most perfect time to go overseas. Thankfully, there are other programs that we can use to study and test ourselves at school. Take a look below and maybe you will find the perfect program. Did you find any useful advice that you can use for studying English during summer vacation? Was there the perfect website, application, or school program and lecture to help you study English? Maybe you found a helpful event that can help you test your English abilities. If you forgot what kind of advice there was, take one more look at the picture below! The SM Herald will always support and cheer you on to study English. We also hope you will come back to school next semester as a master (or maybe an almost-native-speaker) of English!

Collaborative Learning Park (CLP) in T Building on Seoul Campus CLP is a new place to study, built in 2019. It is equipped with computers and board markers as a place for collaborative learning such as group activities. In particular, it is attractive to have meetings in groups by connecting students' laptops with large computers. This place needs to be certified using the Sangmyung University app when you want to book in advance. 2. Library of Academic Intelligence Building at Cheonan Campus It is a library with books in various fields. Especially, it has a group study room and presentation room as well as a place for one person to study. Students at Sangmyung University can also use the study places after booking. In particular, unlike other study rooms on the first basement floor, projectors are available, making it easier to do group projects. 3. Jahamaruin in the L building on Seoul Campus Jahamaru is located on the roof of the library. It is a nature friendly place because it is outdoors. This space allows not only group activities but also outdoor exhibitions and small-scale performances. Jahamaru can be used comfortably without a separate reservation. Why don't we study together in Jahamaru in the cool weather? 4. Lounge in Songbaek Hall at Cheonan Campus (1F) On the first floor of the Songbaek Hall, there is a student lounge consisting of an open study room. It is convenient for group activities and tasks because it has concentric plugs and computers. In addition, photocopiers are also available, making it possible to print your work right away. 5. Reading Lounge in the L building on the Seoul Campus There are various types of learning spaces in one space, including a single desk and stand, a desk seating multiple people, a desk with a computer, and a desk with a comfortable chair. This is a multi-functional lounge where you can study, do group activities, and take a rest, mainly because there is a place where you can take a rest while learning. Up to here, I have introduced good places to study at Sangmyung University. In a good environment, I hope our students at Sangmyung University can study hard and do group projects. Moreover, I also hope these new spaces can help us make a better society as great Sangmyung people.

제 4 호 Achievement Review of Web Version of the SM Herald

Kicker: COVER STORY (REVIEW) Achievement Review of Web Version of the SM Herald What Got Better? What Needs More Attention? By Sarah Chae, Editor, Min-gyong Lee, Editor sarah3fran@gmail.com, lee.mkpeach@gmail.com Hard version (above) and web version (below) (https://www.smu.ac.kr/eng-newspaper/index.do?) of the SM Herald newspaper Did you know that the SM Herald used to be a magazine-type platform? If you go further back into the past, it really was an old fashioned newspaper. Coming back to 2019, the SM Herald has published online newspapers for nearly a year from the March 2019 edition up until the December 2019 edition. Thanks to all of our readers, there are even articles that have reached thousands of views! Therefore, in order to wrap up and reflect on the past SM Heralds articles, we are planning to listen to the opinions of readers and reporters in this edition’s cover story. Let’s take a look at Professor Samuel Alexander Denny’s interview first. Interview With Faculty Adviser, Professor Samuel Alexander Denny: Question 1: How is the online newspaper version of the SM Herald? What is better (than the magazine type)? What differences are worth noting? Answer 1: I am happy and satisfied with it. I had encouraged our Herald members to make an online version for a very long time. The reason is, most university age students get information online. They like to access information on their phone, right? Therefore I thought few among the millennial generation read hard copy newspapers anymore, and I wanted our SM Herald to be up-to-date. I guess because of this change, more students are reading it now. The second reason I like the new SM Herald is that it is environmentally conscious. If there were remaining copies of the old (hard cover version) Herald, we had to just throw them away. Even if we could recycle them, I thought it was very wasteful and unnecessary. Now we are not using any natural resources, so I think it is more environmentally friendly to publish it online/digitally. This decision was correct. Question 2: What do you miss? Answer 2: You can see in my office, I have all the copies of the old Herald. I still miss paper magazines that I can touch. I am an older generation, so I like that (paper version). There were more photographs in the hard version than the online copy. I keep these (old copies), and for me each one is a nice memory. I know a lot of effort went into producing each of them, so I am kind of very nostalgic about the paper copies. I’m also very realistic about today’s world. I realize that young people want to access news in a fresh way, and we just had to meet our readers where they are. Question 3: What kind of articles do you want the SM Herald to write in the future? Do the articles seem to be helpful/motivating and meaningful for the readers? Answer 3: I think they are helpful. However, I would like to see more direct interviews where our Herald reporters go and talk to our Sangmyung students. I know in this issue there is going to be an article and interview with the president of SEDA (English Discussion Club), and I think that is great. I do think the articles are very interesting. I think articles that are related to students’ health are great because students are very health-conscious about their diet, getting enough sleep/exercise, all of these things that are related to the real lives of our students. I think we have done those kinds of stories but we need more articles like that. The SM Herald will keep working on trying to be a better school media source for SMU students. To improve readability, we are conducting experiments, fixing manuals and are receiving check-ups. We are also constantly checking ourselves through constant and steady-going idea/review meetings. Let’s now take a look at a check-up helped by you, our fellow readers. The following are the opinions of students from Sangmyung Univ who participated in the questionnaire for the development of the SM Herald. Question 1:Do you know that an English newspaper of Sangmyung Univ. has changed its publication method to online news? Question 1-(1):If so, what route did you know it through? Question 2:Do you think the Internet newspaper format is better than paper magazines? Question 2-(1):Why is the Internet article format better than the paper magazine format? Question 2-(2): What is the reason you prefer the paper magazine format? Question 3:Do you still feel uncomfortable or inconvenienced reading an English newspaper after transforming to an Internet newspaper? Question 4:Please comment from the reader's perspective about how to provide improvement of access to an Internet English newspaper. One of the most common opinions is to request active public relations. Students suggested publicity using “Everytime”, “Instagram”, “Kakao + (Plus) Friend (Channel)”, etc. The SM Herald currently has all of the above publicity accounts. However, it is clean that the problem is that SM Herald has not used it frequently enough for students to recognize sufficient access and the cooperation with the main media of Sangmyung Univ has been rare. Thus, students also proposed cooperation with the Student Council and campus websites. If the Univ. allows to pop up publicity, expose SM Herald's icons and banners on the school homepage, or cooperate with the Student Council, access would be very high. In fact, those above methods have been tried, and in addition to the efforts of the SM Herald reporters, it was answered that it would be difficult to achieve without the permission and cooperation of the university. Based on the results of your questionnaire received this time, we will be able to improve access through a flexible compromise, though. In addition, many advertisements were emphasized via text messages, and many various and different events were requested. Furthermore, specifically, one participant requested events to answer questions from official language(English) exams. Accordingly, these opinions will be integrated and considered to organize educational events that are simple, interesting, or practically useful to students. We also confirmed the importance of not only SNS, text messages, online media, but also offline promotional materials. Placing posters designed with emphasis on the QR code of the Webzine homepage and SNS account of the SM Herald, at noticeable locations such as school stations, main boards, and former English newspaper stands, is an example. A method was also presented to provide and hold regular prize giveaway events for those who followed the English newspaper. On the other hand, in terms of the content of newspaper articles, students asked us for interesting article themes. Suggestions were made on how to make readers focus on the content of newspaper articles, such as including English information useful for employment, common sense, and quizzes for events in newspaper articles. In addition, increasing the interval between sentences, ensuring readability, and adding highlights and memo functions on the web magazine homepage were also proposed as a way to solve the shortcomings of an Internet publication compared to a paper newspaper. This method has a problem in that there is a limit that requires cooperation with an outside Internet homepage development company. Adapting to new social changes, we will continue to develop your online SM Herald, which has transformed into a new form. Thank you very much for your support and cooperation.

제 2 호 Convenience & Education Systems Unknown to SMU Students

Kicker: COVER STORY Convenience & Education Systems Unknown to SMU Students Focusing on Useful Mobile Applications and Vacation Programs in SMU by Ju-eun Yeon, Reporter, Hye-im Li, Reporter Yeonje1113@naver.com , kateli1004@naver.com How to spend college life more fruitfully? Probably, lots of students are interested in having a fruitful college life. Therefore, we are going to let you know convenience and education systems at Sangmyung University for our students’ worthwhile campus life. Especially, we are going to handle practical mobile applications and vacation programs which have been implemented in SMU ▲ A College life Practical Mobile Applications for SMU Students SM Herald would like to recommend practical mobile applications for SMU students. Let’s take a look at what applications are here. Some applications may be familiar to you. All of these applications were recommended by Sangmyung University students. I hope these applications are helpful to you, too. ▲ The mobile application ‘Everytime’ 1.‘Everytime’ ‘Everytime’ is the most popular application for college students. Many students recommended ‘Everytime’, too. SM Herald also uses ‘Everytime’ to communicate with SMU students. There are three reasons for this recommendation. First, the community is active so users can get school news and other information quickly. Second, it is convenient to make your timetable and check your schedule by ‘wizet.’ Third, users can communicate with anonymity. ▲ The mobile application ‘Coursemos’ 2. ‘Coursemos’ It has been only two to three years since the app was used at our university. However, now, most students are using ‘Coursemos.’ There are two reasons for this recommendation. First, ‘Coursemos’ is a useful app for viewing lecture materials and lecture notices. In particular, when new lectures or notices are uploaded, an alarm service lets us know the information. Therefore, we can get information quickly.Second, users can listen to video lectures through the application. It is very useful for students attending on-line classes. ▲ The mobile application ‘Polaris Office’ 3. ‘Polaris Office’ (A document editing mobile application) There are three reasons for this recommendation. First, ‘Polaris Office’ application is composed of ‘Word’, ’Excel’, ‘PowerPoint’ and ‘Hangul and Computer.’ Therefore, users don’t have to download each application. Second, college students can edit documents by a mobile phone. It allows students to write documents everywhere. Third, ‘Polaris Office’ is especially useful to iPhone users. Originally, iPhone users can’t view or edit ‘Hangul and Computer’ files and it caused them lots of problems. However, after ‘Polaris Office’ mobile application appeared, viewing or editing ‘Hangul and Computer’ files by a mobile phone became possible to iPhone users, too. Education Discount Site Have you heard of ‘YGOON’ or ‘Univstore’? ‘YGOON’ and ‘Univstore’ are education discount sites. ‘Education Discount Store’ discounts electronic devices, clothes, books and even travel tickets for only college students. It is a benefit for only college students, so the SM Herald wants to share information with SMU students. The ‘YGOON’ and ‘Univstore’ links are below. Click if you are interested. [link] https://www.ygoon.com/mall/ https://www.univstore.com/ Vacation Programs at Both Campuses Then, let’s find out about the programs we have in school during the vacation. School programs can be divided into three main categories. Volunteer activities, overseas training programs, and employment/career programs. Before starting the article, I would like to explain the terms that SMU students are confused about. There are language training, exchange students, international exchanges, and on-the-job training. ▶An Explanation of Confusing Terms Usually, international exchange programs include language training or exchange student programs. Then, what is the difference between language training and exchange students? Exchange students are programs organized by universities, so they can study with scholarships. Therefore, the competition rate is high, and the applicant usually is selected based on grades and language skills. Exchange students can also receive more than a certain credit. On the contrary, language training is not a program organized by the school, so you cannot get a scholarship. Therefore, the competition rate is low and language training is much more free than the exchange student. An on-the-job training is easy to think of as an internship experience abroad. Internships are so essential to experience that they are included in the graduation requirements in some specific departments. If a student in such a specific department is thinking about overseas employment, it is advisable to apply for on-the-job training. On-the-job training can also receive scholarships if conditions are met. International exchange programs and on-the-job training are divided into semesters. Now, the terms explaining is over; then let’s look at the various programs that are running on both campuses at the same time. (The volunteer work will be explained on each campus.) ▶Overseas Training First, it is the overseas training section. There are so many countries that you can go to for overseas training. Typically, there are the United States, China, Russia, Germany, Australia, Japan and Taiwan. Overseas training programs are usually posted on the website or are directly informed by the departments. ▶Employment/Career Programs Cheonan campus and Seoul campus jointly support certification-related programs. These programs are available at Sangmyung University’s Employment Support Team. Certifications include Computer Utilization level 2, Excel, Illustration, Accounting level 1, and ICDL COMPUTING(python). The certification process is conducted during the semester, and some are conducted during the vacation. ▲ The Homepage of Employment Support Team Furthermore, both Cheonan and Seoul campuses support on-the-job training programs. It is often called an internship program. As described above, if you are considering overseas employment, it is good to have a job experience once through an on-the-job program that is supported by the school. In the first half of 2019, on-the-job training programs were in the US, China, Australia and Germany. The period is divided into one month during vacation, six months, and one year, and the cost varies depending on the period of staying in the country. The school supports scholarships, but the qualification for the scholarship is in the third grade and the fourth grade in not applicable. The company is assigned according to your major. Therefore, it is not necessary to worry about whether or not you are wasting time doing the work which is not suitable for the major. An on-the-job training information session is also held every semester, so it is good for interested students to refer to the briefing session. Vacation Programs at the Seoul Campus Vacation programs at the Seoul Campus can be categorized in to three parts: volunteer work, overseas training, and employment programs. There are many good programs for vacation, if you pay attention. ▶Volunteer work ▲ Volunteers who participated in ‘Sharing Kim chi of Love’ ‘Sharing Kim chi of Love’ The program opens at every December. ‘Sharing Kim chi of Love’ is a project which delivers Kimjang and sponsorship for the underprivileged in Buam-doing, Jongno-gu. If you apply for ‘Social Corps’, you can attend to ‘Sharing Kim chi of Love’ volunteer work. You can apply for it any time. ‘The Global Overseas Volunteer Activity’ The program is held during every winter vacation. ‘The Global Overseas Volunteer Activity’ takes about 14 days to complete. There was the Laos Overseas Volunteer Activity in 2018. However, there is no announcement for the 2019 Global Overseas Volunteer Activity yet. If you want to apply for ‘Global Overseas Volunteer Activity’, you have to complete some documents. ▶Overseas Training The program is held during every summer/winter vacation. There are lots of countries which are cooperating with Sangmyung University. Most of the Overseas Trainings have been implemented at the Cheonan Campus, too. If you want to apply for the program, visit ‘The Foreign Exchange and Cooperation Team.’ ‘The Foreign Exchange and Cooperation Team’ in Sangmyung University is Carry out overseas training. ▶Employment/Career Programs Summer vacation programs Winter vacation programs －SM Convertion Camp －NCS Vocational Basic ability Program －Viral Marketing certificate process －Field practice program There are lots of employment/career programs. First, it is the ‘SM Convertion Camp.’ The program opens during summer vacation. It is an overnight program. SM Convertion Camp is a job support camp for getting a job at small and medium-sized enterprises. Second, it is the ‘NCS Vocational Basic ability Program.’ The program opens during summer vacation. The program which analyzes previous NCS tests and prepare for NCS recruitment. Third, it is the ‘Viral Marketing certificate process.’The program opens during winter vacation. The program is a specialized education program concerning understanding marketing techniques and practice. Fourth, it is the ‘Field practice program.’ The program opens during winter vacation. The practice time should be over 40 hours. Plus, you can participate in the first semester of the third grade. If you would like to apply for these programs, search for the ‘SM challenge.’ SM challenge is dealing with all employment/career programs. Enter the site and apply online. There are lots of useful programs. Besides, it is easy to apply for. Here is the link. If you are interested in getting a job, this site will be helpful to you. [link] https://smcareer.smu.ac.kr/ Vacation Programs at the Cheonan Campus Let’s learn about the program that is going on during vacation at the Cheonan campus. ▶Volunteer work First, it is the volunteer section. There is the education volunteer work of Anseo Elementary School. Sections Volunteer work hours Details of the activities Place of activities Student librarians and book club instruction 08:30~16:40 Student librarians and book club instruction. Library Special education student program 09:00~15:00 The special children support Special classroom Daycare program 13:00~16:40 Reference about daycare program Daycare classroom Preschool education program 09:00~16:30 Childhood education department, social welfare department students only Preschool Administrative support 09:00~16:40 Administrative work Teacher’s room ▲ the Volunteer Sections about the Anseo Elementary School ▶Overseas Training The following is the overseas training section. Since the Global Regional Department belongs to the Cheonan campus, there are many cases where announcements come down separately. ▶Employment/Career Programs Finally, it is the career section. It is a smart business program. It is a good program to build up English or Chinese skills by making video calls with locals. Of course, it is free. In addition, there are public enterprise study camps and meeting with job-related seniors. These programs are available at Sangmyung University’s Employment Support Team. ▲ The Meeting with Job-Related Seniors. Our university is supporting a variety of programs for students. They are not only good quality but cheaper than academies. I hope to get a lot of such good benefits while attending school. I could not explain enough about each program because this is a short article. Therefore, if you are interested, please visit the homepage often.
