Abstract

This research is conducted to find out types of errors that the students have in the use of pronouns in their spoken descriptive texts and to discover the dominant error on the use of pronoun in the students’ spoken descriptive texts. The subjects were the seventh grade students of SMPI AL MADINA Semarang in the academic year 2017/2018. This is a descriptive qualitative study. I found four types of error on the use of pronoun in descriptive texts made by the students. Those are errors of selection, errors of omission, errors of ordering, and errors of addition. The four types of error mentioned above occurred within the 3 types of pronouns contained in the syllabus of the seventh grade junior high school materials, namely subjective pronouns, objective pronouns, and possessive adjectives. The students made errors variation in each type. There are 14 errors of selection. Meanwhile, the others were 3 errors of omission, 1 error of ordering, and 1 error of addition. The dominant error found is error of selection type. The students often exchanged pronoun for man and woman such as he and she or his and he. From the problem, it can be seen that the problems are in students’ lack of understanding about pronoun for gender and also they are confused to differentiate between possessive adjectives and subjective pronoun.
