C. The Objectives of the Study
The study was intended to find out the most dominant grammatical errors that occur in report texts written by the eleventh grade of accounting major at
SMK N 1 Jorlang Hataran. Another objective of this study was to find out the possible causes of the errors that occur in their report texts.
D. The Scope of the Study
In order to give the best result of the research, this study focused on analysing the grammatical errors in Report text. The grammatical types of errors
that are discussed in this study are extended from the missing, wrong and unclear use of grammatical units. Then the main concern in this study is limited only on
sentence errors, tense errors, verb errors, agreement errors, modifier errors, preposition errors, and articles errors. The subject of the study is limited on the
eleventh grade of Vocational Senior High School students.
E. The Significances of the Study
It is expected that the finding of this study will later be useful for proper parties, such as the following.
1 To the teachers
It is expected that this study will help the teachers to foreknow students’
common errors in grammar related to report text and try to find better way of teaching in order to make the students understand authentically.
2 To the students
This study is expected to make the students understand their errors in writing through this study. By knowing their errors, it is expected that in
the future they will learn more and try to improve their writing skill and grammar ability.
3 To the further researcher
This study is also expected to be useful for those who want to do similar research. It is expected that this study will be helpful as a guidance and
reference for further research.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
A. Conclusion
This study has discussed the analysis of errors in grammatical features of Report text. The data were taken from the eleventh grade students of accounting
major. Based on the description of the results in the previous chapters, there are some conclusions that can be presented.
1 The errors of grammatical features in Report text are errors in verbs,
nouns, sentences, prepositions, articles, pronouns, modifiers, and conjunctions.

2 The sources of students’ errors are the ignorance of rule restriction,
incomplete applications of rules, negative interlingual transfer, false concept hypothesized, wrong communication strategy, and over-
generalization.
3 The causes of students’ errors are the lack of knowledge, laziness,
difficulty in dealing with grammar rules, lack of vocabularies, dislikeness of English subject, difficulty in building sentence,
difficulty in translating, and lack of attention of teacher’s explanation.
B. Suggestion
There have to be suggestions as response to the conclusions above so that this study can be meaningful. Therefore, the following are some suggestions that
are expected to be helpful for teachers, students, and other researchers. 1.
For the teachers Teachers must correct the students’ errors on their assignments then
return them back to the students so they know their errors and learn at home. In addition, teachers must find the easiest way to make the
students understand grammar. 2.
For the students Students must pay more attention when teachers explain. Students also
must be aware to learn their errors at home to avoid repeating the same errors.
3. For the further researchers
Other researchers should conduct further studies on grammatical features of every genre of text that involve a wider circle of
participants from every grade and level.
