Abstract

This study explores the impact of language barriers on the educational experience of students in rural schools. In many rural areas, language differences between students and teachers can significantly affect learning outcomes, communication, and overall student performance. This research focuses on schools in rural regions where minority languages or dialects are spoken, and the medium of instruction is often a different language. Through interviews with teachers, students, and community members, this study aims to understand the challenges posed by language barriers, the coping strategies employed by teachers, and the support systems available to students. The findings suggest that language barriers contribute to academic difficulties, social isolation, and low self-esteem among students, but various interventions, such as bilingual education, community involvement, and teacher training, can help mitigate these challenges. This study highlights the need for tailored educational strategies and policy interventions to address language barriers in rural schools, ensuring more equitable access to quality education for all students.

Abstract

This study examines the kerje sara urang prohibition within the Gayo community's Belah Hakim clan, a customary rule forbidding intra-clan marriage, utilizing a qualitative method with an empirical juridical approach. The research combines normative analysis with direct field observation in Belah Hakim in habited areas of Central Aceh, Bener Meriah, and Gayo Lues. Primary data were gathered through interviews, observation, and documentation, analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model and triangulated for validity. The study found that the Belah Hakim community enforces this prohibition due to beliefs in shared lineage impacting health, its role in maintaining social harmony, fear of ancestral curses, and a desire to uphold religious values. Violators face parak (exile for six-months) and traditional fines, with more severe sanctions like jeret naru (permanent exile) for specific cases. From an ‘urf perspective, this prohibition is categorized as al-’urf al-fāsid because it lacks explicit Islamic legal basis and can lead to harmful social consequences such as family disintegration, social exclusion, and infringement on individual rights, while also risking shirk through beliefs in ancestral curses. This research highlights the conflict between customary norms and Islamic justice, advocating for a contextual Islamic legal approach to align customary law with maqāṣid al-sharī'ah.
