8 can be more aware of them and be motivated not to make the same errors. Thus,
realizing those parts will improve their learning. 3. Future researchers
It is expected that the results of the research will be valuable information for the future researchers who are interested in researching similar phenomenon or
problem. The knowledge of the researchers who want to conduct another similar research or continue the research will be enriched. They can use any information
they need from the research to help them or guide them to conduct some similar researches.
F. Definition of Terms
Here is some explanation of the terms the researcher uses which can help the readers understand the study.
1. Errors
According to Dulay, Burt, and Krashen 1982, errors are the competence errors which result from the lack of knowledge of the rules of the target language
and the performance errors caused by factors such as fatigue and inattention p. 139. Errors are one of the things the researcher tried to find out in the utterances
produced by Microteaching students of the ELESP in the academic year 20102011. The researcher tried to examine the students’ errors in using verb
phrases in the spoken language. The errors were any inappropriate verb phrases or, in other words, the verb phrases which violated English grammatical rules.

a mistake, although it may not be always an easy task. Brown 1987, p.170 has pointed out that errors are different from mistakes. Mistakes can be a random
guess or a slip reflecting a performance error.

and functions as a predicate p. 49, e.g. is walking, where is is the auxiliary verb and walking is the verb. The researcher seeks to find the verb phrases in the
participants’ speech which violate English grammatical rules. This is done to answer the first research question.
3. Speech
According to Pei 1966, speech means the verbal expression of thought p. 255. Speech means the language used when speaking, or spoken language. In
the study, the researcher examines the grammatical errors concerning English verb phrases in the students’ speech when they practiced teaching in front of the class.
