Maria Susi Suriyanti

Abstract


The aim of this study was to provide analysis on the grammatical errors occurred to the Seventh grade students of SMPN 01 Embaloh Hulu and their interlanguage causes in the students’ writing. This research was conducted through the procedure of error analysis. Surface strategy taxonomy, as one of the error types of error analysis was used for further analysis in order to describe the students’ errors. The subjects of this research were the seventh grade students of SMPN 01 Embaloh Hulu in the academic year of 2020/2021. The collected samples were taken by sorting out the samples from the students’ writing tasks. The samples were analyzed by the criteria of errors called Omission, Addition, Misordering, and Misformation. The result showed that the students produced 92% of non-English-like sentences in their writing. The most frequent error type made by the students was omission type. The result revealed 48% errors appearing on the students’ writing. The indicated result discovered that the students’ interlanguage process covered both the central process of interlanguage called overgeneralization of TL rules and strategy in language learning.
Keywords: Interlanguage, Interlanguage Process, Surface Strategy Taxonomy
