Abstract

This study is a descriptive qualitative study aimed to find out the grammatical errors made by the students, the most frequent error, and the source of the errors in their recount texts. The subject of this study is the tenth-grade students of SMK Texmaco Semarang in the academic year 2017/2018 which consists of 30 students. In this study, the writer collected the data in the form of students’ recount texts by using documentation technique. The data were then analyzed using error analysis method and descriptive qualitative approach. The analysis was carried out by referring to Dulay’s surface strategy taxonomy in terms of the types of error and Ellis and Barkhuizen’s theory in terms of sources of error. The results of this study showed that the total number of grammatical errors made by the students in their recount texts is 620 errors. These errors consist of 184 omission errors, 99 addition errors, 242 misformation errors, and 95 misordering errors. Accordingly, the most frequent error is misformation error which corresponds to 39.03% of the total error. Then, it is followed by omission error (29.68%), addition error (15.97%), and misordering error (15.32%). Furthermore, this study also revealed that most of the errors are caused by interlingual transfer (441 errors or 71.13% of the total error). Meanwhile, 179 errors or 38.87% of the total error are caused by intralingual transfer. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the students had some difficulties in applying English grammar rules in their writings. Therefore, it is suggested for the teacher and the students to be aware and pay more attention to the errors in order to improve the English teaching and learning process
