1. Data Description

It has been stated that the study discussed the errors that made by the first year students of SMAN 6 Pandeglang Banten. The writer uses the types of errors based on surface strategy taxonomy Dullay, Burt and Kiparsky to classify the students’ errors on grammar. From the data below, it can be described that 40 students made 701 errors with the highest frequency of error on Future Continuous Tense with 36 students 90 and Omission with 72 , the lowest frequency of errors is about Expressing Ability ‘can’ with 1 student 2,5 and Over-generalization with 0,3 .

2. Data Analysis

The collected data are qualitatively analyzed through several types, such as reconstructing the errors, classifying the error based on surface strategy taxonomy including omission, addition, double-marking, Over- regularization, , and misordering, and then analyzing errors’ sources. Here is the description of students’ errors and their reconstruction right answer. see appendix I Table II Recapitulation of the Students’ Grammar Error No Item Number Grammar Problem Area Percentage 1 47 Future Continuous Tense 36 90 2 39 Agreeing Expression 31 77,5 3 1 Agreement; concord 30 75 4 49 Past Continuous Tense 29 72,5 5 5 Possessive Pronoun 27 67,5 6 23 Would rather …than 27 67,5 7 11 Adjectives with -ing 26 65 8 36 Elliptical Sentences 26 65 9 45 Simple Present Perfect Tense 26 65 10 43 Past Continuous Tense 23 57,5 11 50 Simple Past Tense 21 52,5 12 6 Possessive Pronoun 20 50 13 46 Simple Future Tense 19 47,5 14 40 Present Continuous Tense 17 42,5 15 15 Expressing ability ‘can’ 16 40 16 29 Superlative Adjectives 16 40 17 32 Using’ can” to ask permission 16 40 18 26 Simple Present ‘usually’ 14 35 19 31 Past Continuous Tense 14 35 20 38 Possessive Pronoun 14 35 21 30 Perfect Perfect with ‘since’ 13 32,5 22 7 Comparative Adjective 12 30 23 25 Present Passive 11 27,5 24 13 Adverbs of Manner 10 25 25 22 Simple Past Tense 10 25 26 27 Simple Present ‘never’ 10 25 27 28 Comparative Adjective 10 25 28 33 Using ‘may’ to ask permission 10 25 29 24 Present Passive 8 20 30 41 Simple Present Tense 8 20 31 17 Positive Sentence 7 17,5 32 19 Both… and 7 17,5 33 42 Simple Past Tense 7 17,5 34 44 Simple Present Perfect Tense 7 17,5 35 2 Agreement; Concord 6 15 36 10 Modal ‘must’ 6 15 37 35 Elliptical Sentences 6 15 38 4 Countable Noun 5 12,5 39 34 Conditional Type 1 5 12,5 40 37 Possessive Pronoun 5 12,5 41 48 Simple Past Tense 5 12,5 42 12 Adjective with -ed 4 10 43 18 Negative Sentence 4 10 44 3 Uncountable Noun 3 7,5 45 8 Adjective Clause for Describing Place 3 7,5 46 14 Adverbs of Manner 3 7,5 47 20 Expressing ‘so do I’ 3 7,5 48 9 Expressing Purpose ‘To infinitive’ 2 5 49 21 Question Sentence using ‘are going to’ 2 5 50 16 Expressing ability ‘can’ 1 2,5 Total 701 100 Table III Recapitulation of the Students’ errors Error Classifications No Name O A DM O-R O-G M Total of Errors 1 Student no. 1 16 1 - - 5 2 24 2 Student no. 2 13 - - - 4 - 17 3 Student no. 3 15 2 - 3 3 1 24 4 Student no. 4 11 2 - - 7 3 23 5 Student no. 5 15 - - - 2 - 17 6 Student no. 6 15 1 - 3 6 2 27 7 Student no. 7 15 1 - 3 6 2 27 8 Student no. 8 13 - - - 1 - 14 9 Student no. 9 15 - - - - - 15 10 Student no. 10 13 - - 2 1 - 16 11 Student no. 11 14 - - - 2 1 17 12 Student no. 12 15 1 - 3 3 2 24 13 Student no. 13 15 - - 2 2 - 19 14 Student no. 14 12 1 - - 4 3 20 15 Student no. 15 10 - - - - - 10 16 Student no. 16 12 - - 2 1 1 16 17 Student no. 17 12 - - - - - 12 18 Student no. 18 14 1 - 2 2 1 20 19 Student no. 19 10 - - - - 1 11 20 Student no. 20 15 - - - 1 - 16 21 Student no. 21 13 - - - - 2 15 22 Student no. 22 10 - - - - - 10 23 Student no. 23 15 - - - 3 - 18 24 Student no. 24 10 - - - 2 - 12 25 Student no. 25 12 1 - 2 4 3 22 26 Student no. 26 10 2 - 5 5 2 24 27 Student no. 27 14 - - 2 3 - 19 28 Student no. 28 9 - - 2 2 - 13 29 Student no. 29 14 - - 1 3 - 17 30 Student no. 30 13 1 - 5 2 2 23 31 Student no. 31 16 - - 3 2 - 21 32 Student no. 32 13 1 - 5 2 - 21 33 Student no. 33 7 - - 1 - - 8 34 Student no. 34 6 - - 2 3 1 12 35 Student no. 35 15 3 - 1 3 1 23 36 Student no. 36 15 - - 1 3 - 18 37 Student no. 37 8 - - 1 - - 9 38 Student no. 38 9 - - 3 2 - 14 39 Student no. 39 10 - - 2 - 1 13 40 Student no. 40 14 2 - 1 2 1 20 Total 503 20 - 56 91 31 701 Percentage 72 0,3 - 11 14 0,6 100
