GRAMMATICAL ERROR ANALYSIS in STUDENTS’ RECOUNT TEXTS

ABSTRACT
Haryanto, Toni. 2007. Grammatical Error Analysis in Students’ Recount Texts.
The Case of the Twelfth Year Students of SMA N 1 Slawi in the Academic Year
of 2006/2007. A Final Project.
Learning English becomes more and more important nowadays since we
know that English is one of the international languages which can be used to
communicate around the world. In Indonesia, English is learnt as a foreign
language. Learning a different language is sometimes difficult since the target
language has different elements compared to the native language. These
differences sometimes cause students to make errors when using it.

This final project primarily deals with grammatical error analysis. It
describes the grammatical errors on recount texts made by the twelfth year
students of SMA N 1 Slawi in the academic year of 2006/2007. I use the
qualitative approach of which the data were obtained from the students’ recount
text writing. These writings were then analyzed. The grammatical errors were
classified into seven groups. They were errors in producing verb group, errors in
subject-verb agreement, errors in the use of articles, errors in the use of
prepositions, errors in noun pluralization, errors in the use of pronouns, and errors
in the use of conjunctions.
From the result in chapter IV I can conclude that the students made 235
grammatical errors which were classified into 153 errors in producing verbal
groups, 3 errors in subject-verb agreement, 10 errors in the use of article30, errors
in the use of preposition, 12 errors in pluralization, 23 errors in the use of
pronoun, 4 errors in the use of conjunction.
From the result I can conclude that the possible causes of errors are
overgeneralization, and interference.
It is suggested that the students still need more practices dealing with verb
forms since they were the basic knowledge needed for telling their past
experiences.
