learner fails to apply the grammar rules completely. 6.
The teacher must be made the students to be a good person. The cause of error in this sentence is false concepts hypothesized. There is
faulty comprehension of distinction in the target language. It gives different meaning to the sentence since its form is passive voice.

4.2 Research Finding
After analyzing the data, the researcher finds: 1
There are omission error, overinclusion error, misselection error, misordering error, and blend error in their writing. The Errors’ description
can be summarized in this table below:

2 Generally, the cause of errors in their writing is interlingual error.
Specifically, those errors are caused by overgeneralization, ignorance of rule restriction, incomplete application of rules and false concepts hypothesized.
These causes are summarized in this table below:
Cause of Error
Sentences Explanation
Overgenerali zation
The teacher must has an experience to
teaching. Overgeneralization covers instances where
the learner creates a deviant structure on the basis of his experience of other structures in
the target language. The use of verb “has” is
overgeneralization since the sentence uses mod
al “must”. Verbs of third singular person have to be changed into their basic form
when there is a modal. The correct sentence is:
√The teacher must have an experience about teaching.
Ignorance of Because, nowadays The learners fail to observe the restriction of
9 rule
restriction difficulty to search
job. existing structures. The noun “difficulty” is
used instead of adjective “difficult”. Besides pronoun it is needed in this sentence to be
the subject. The correct sentence is:
√Because, nowadays it is difficult to get job. Incomplete
application of rules
The teacher is who teaching the student
This is not a sentence because the learner fails to apply the rules of constructing
relative clause completely. The correct sentence is:
√The teacher is a person who teaches the student.
False concepts
hypothesized Because of that
every people must need eat and drink.
Having poor vocabulary is the cause of this error. The learner has faulty comprehension
to differentiate noun “food” and verb “eat”. The correct sentence is:
√Because of that every people must need food and drink.
3 To cope with those grammar errors, James 1998:236 provides three
strategies, they are: a
Intervention Feedback. Informing the learners that there is an error, and leaving them to discover it and repair it themselves.
b Correction Proper. Providing treatment or information that leads to the
revision and correction of the specific instance of error the error token without aiming to prevent the same error from recurring later. In
addition to indicating that the present attempt is wrong, the teacher can specify how and where, suggest an alternative, and give a hint.
c Remediation. Providing learner with information that allows them to
revise or reject the wrong rule they were operating with when they produced the error token. The result will be to induce learners to revise
their mental representation of the rule, so that this error type does not recur.
V. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
5.1 Conclusion
Error is a short word, however, it is found everywhere, it means in the structure, the pronunciation, and the entire language. In learning any language,
learners will always make hypotheses about the language rules and then they practice or use them in actual language performance. The rules that they use are
correct if the forms they produce are acceptable in the target language, and on the other hand, they should correct the forms if they are unacceptable. Learners, in
learning a secondforeign language, often produce erroneous utterances whether in their speech or in their writing. They find difficulties in learning the target
language since its rules are different from those of their mother tongue. Those
