The widespread and prolonged violent conflict in Aceh has passed down negative legacy within a vulnerable communities. One of the most-exposed the social capital elements is the mutual trust or the excessive manifestation of hate. Although suspicion often provides a sense of security in violent conflict, yet when peace is present, the inherent feeling of distrust can disrupt the construction of community coexistence towards reconciliation. However, with the development of a fairly massive coffee culture, promising opportunities to construct coexistence in post-conflict societies in Aceh emerged. Therefore, this study uses a narrative approach in describing the potentials of coffee culture in constructing the coexistence of post-conflict communities in Aceh.

This study examined the English for Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ difficult topics in the structure and written expression section of the TOEFL Prediction Test, and reasons why they consider that these topics were difficult. A mixed-method research design was used in this study. Fifteen participants were selected through a purposive sampling mechanism from the seventh-semester students of the Department of English Language Education, Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry who have participated in the TOEFL Prediction Test to identify the difficult topics they encountered. Then, the semi-structured interviews were conducted with six underachieving student’s participants with the most recorded errors made in the test to know the reasons behind their difficulties. Findings indicated that students encountered difficulties mostly when dealing with determiners, conjunctions, adjective clauses, apposition phrases, and reduced clauses in the structure section. Meanwhile, adverb connectors, subject-verb agreement, and clause of concession, relative clause, and quantifier are the difficulties they encountered in the written expression section of the test. Thus, the findings also revealed several factors identified as the reasons behind those difficulties, namely lack of practice, grammar incompetence, vocabulary shortage, time management, and low self-confidence. Given the significant impact of this study, we suggested that the lectures and English departments should address these difficulties. It is crucial that the focus of the courses related to grammar and EFL proficiency tests be incorporated into the syllabus.

This descriptive qualitative study was aimed at discovering English language teachers’ challenges in teaching TOEFL preparation for senior high school students. The data were collected by using an in-depth interview with six experienced and qualified English language teachers teaching TOEFL in the three-state and private senior high schools in Aceh province, Indonesia. Open, axial, and selective coding techniques were used to analyze the data from in-depth interviews. The results show that teachers faced some challenges during teaching TOEFL preparation for senior high school students including students’ different language proficiency, their lack of vocabulary mastery, their fatigue, their passive attitude, class size, and time limitation. The findings recommend the further idea to organize a more organized preparation TOEFL program for high school students that can be integrated into the existing curriculum, and thus it will no longer be viewed merely as an extracurricular program.

Deradikalisasi Pemahaman Al-Qur’an (Ayat-ayat Jihad dan Qital) Husna Amin; Saiful Akmal
TAFSE: Journal of Qur'anic Studies Vol 6, No 1 (2021)
Publisher : Program Studi Ilmu Al-Qur'an dan Tafsir Fakultas Ushuluddin dan Filsafat, UIN Ar-Raniry

This study tries to explain the verses of the Qur'an which are often used as triggers for the emergence of radical actions. Most of the verses are verses of jihad and qital. The verses in text meaning symbolize something hard, because the meaning of jihad is serious while qital means killing. However, if a deeper study is carried out, will be found that the meaning of the verse cannot be seen only textually but also must look at environmental factors when the verse was revealed and the politics at that time. Then the Arabic word has a meaning that varies according to the context of the discussion. Then the word qital does mean to kill, but the verses that contain the word can not only be seen from the outward meaning but also reviewing the historical and sociological because al-Qur'an came down gradually according to circumstances and needs of people. Studi ini mencoba untuk menjelaskan ayat-ayat al-Qur’an yang sering digunakan sebagai pemantik terhadap munculnya tindakan radikal. Sebagian besar ayat-ayat tersebut adalah ayat yang di dalamnya terdapat kata jihad dan qital. Ayat-ayat tersebut secara zahir memang melambangkan sesuatu yang bersifat keras, karena makna jihad adalah bersungguh-sungguh sedangkan qital bermakna membunuh. Namun, jika dilakukan penelitian lebih dalam maka akan didapati bahwa makna ayat tersebut tidak bisa dilihat secara tekstual saja, tapi juga harus melihat faktor lingkungan ketika ayat tersebut diturunkan, perpolitikan pada masa itu dan kaidah-kaidah ulum al-Qur’an sebagai acuan dalam penafsiran. Dalam bahasa Arab, ada kata yang mempunyai makna yang beragam sesuai dengan konteks pembahasan. Kata qital memang berarti membunuh, namun ayat-ayat yang mengandung kata tersebut tidak bisa hanya dilihat dari makna lahiriah saja tetapi juga meninjau jejak histrori dan sosiologi waktu ketika al-Qur’an turun secara berangsur-angsur sesuai dengan keadaan dan keperluan umat.
