Abstract

In Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG), Ideational Meaning has the function to represent the speaker’s experience, what’s going on, by whom, and in what circumstance. Recount text is the type of text that retells past experiences or events. Then, Error Analysis is a method used to investigate errors in second language acquisition. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the realization of ideational meaning in students’ recount texts and investigate the students’ errors in writing recount texts. The descriptive qualitative method is used in this study with six recount texts written by tenth-grade students of class MIPA 4 SMAN 1 Tanjung, Brebes, Central Java as the objects of the study. With the transitivity analysis, the result shows that the material process become the dominant process in the texts (55.6%) followed by the material participants –actor (31.3%) and goal (16.6%) which dominated the texts, and circumstance location (82.2%) mainly happened in the students’ recount texts. In the field of error analysis, which used Surface Strategy Taxonomy by Dulay et al.
