divided into 23 types of errors. The total percentage of each types in linguistic level are: 1 the lexical errors level is 35 errors 10,54, 2 the grammatical errors level is 268 errors 80,72, and 3 the
discourse errors level is 29 errors 8,75. The highest errors that the learners made is in misordering noun phrase with the total errors is 29 errors 8,73.
Based on the table of frequency of errors and dominant type of errors, the researcher finds two sources of errors, they are interlingual transfer and intralingual transfer. Interlingual transfer is
caused by interference of the learner’s mother tongue. Learner transfers items from their native language to the foreign language learning. Intralingual transfer belongs to language being learned of
the native language. The foreign language can be caused of errors because the learners transfer some rules in the foreign language as the native language.
