Abstract

This community service project aimed to improve reading literacy and character education among elementary students through the integration of Minahasan folktales and the digital platform Qreatif.id. Conducted at SD Katolik St. Nikolaus Talawaan, North Minahasa, the program adopted a participatory and descriptive approach involving 20 third-grade students and three teachers. The activities combined guided reading sessions using local folktales and digital literacy training through Qreatif.id. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, and reflective interviews, and analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results revealed significant improvements in students’ reading fluency, comprehension, moral reasoning, and motivation. The number of fluent readers increased from 20% to 75%, comprehension accuracy rose to 85%, and moral understanding improved by over 50%. Teachers also demonstrated greater confidence in integrating digital media into instruction. This study concludes that combining local cultural materials with digital platforms provides an effective, contextualized, and engaging model for literacy learning while promoting cultural preservation and 21st-century digital competencies.

Abstract

This article, entitled “Code Switching in Puella YouTube Channel”, aims to identify, analyze, and describe the types of code switching and the reasons for their use in ten selected episodes of the Puella YouTube Channel. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method. Bullock and Toribio’s (2009) theory is used to classify types of code switching, while Holmes' (2013) theory is used to analyze the reasons. The findings show three types of code switching: 620 instances of intra-sentential switching, 392 instances of inter-sentential switching, and 131 instances of tag switching total of all is 1,143. The analysis of the reasons shows that 265 lines contain functions related to identity and relationships (50), status and formality (44), topic (49), quoting dialogue (19), affective function (46), rhetorical or metaphorical switching (42), and humor or playfulness (15). The results indicate that code switching in the Puella YouTube Channel is used not only for linguistic convenience but also to express social meaning and manage interpersonal communication.
