Abstract

This community service program aims to empower local wisdom through the implementation of digital storytelling at SMA Sains Plus Tahfidz Qur’an Al-Ammar, an Islamic boarding school integrating Qur’anic values, science education, and character development. The program addresses three main challenges; 1) the limited integration of local wisdom in learning, 2) students’ low academic storytelling skills, and 3) the absence of an integrated digital storytelling learning model. A participatory Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach was employed, involving teachers and students in workshops, training, and mentoring focused on cultural literacy, storytelling techniques, and digital content production. The methods included needs analysis, capacity building, storytelling training, and the development of digital storytelling videos. The results demonstrate notable improvement in students’ understanding of local wisdom, storytelling competence, digital literacy, and creative expression. Key outputs include educational digital storytelling videos, a practical learning guide, and an integrated digital storytelling learning model. This program contributes to strengthening cultural identity, enhancing 21st century skills, and promoting sustainable, culturally responsive learning within Islamic secondary education.

Abstract

Language plays an important role in communication activities, especially in governmental environments that require the use of official and structured language. This study aims to analyze the use of formal language in meeting activities at the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) of North Sumatra Province. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method with observation techniques of communication activities during meetings. The data were obtained from the spoken utterances of the meeting leaders and DPRD members during the discussion process. The results show that the language used tends to employ standard Indonesian, formal word choices, and clear sentence structures. The use of formal language plays an important role in creating orderly, effective, and professional communication in meeting activities.
