The Formulation of problem

7 So almost the learners must make errors when they are learning English because it is difficult to separate error in the process of learning English. The writer assumed about some problems that the learners are having now and help the teacher to plan remedial work. In addition, the teacher should not see negatively as a sign of failure but see them positively as an indication of what the teacher still needs to teach.So, if the teacher tries to prevent students; errors, the students never finds out what they do not know. 2. Error Analysis Errors Analysis assumed a new role in applied linguistics, it was applied to new issues and questions within second language acquisition research. Thestudy of errors in non-native language performance. It will consider three perspectives reviewing the use of Error Analysis: 1 to account for linguistic competence; 2 to identify learning processes and strategies, and 3 to provied input to language pedagogy. 4 Error is something difficult to avoid for beginner in learning language process, it is natural part of language learning. Learning the second language is a process unlike learning the first language, learner will directly connect with such vocabulary, a new grammatical pattern and foreign pronunciation which different from the first language. Error always occurs although the best effort has been done. Therefore, when they try to speak or write the target language, it is inevitable for them to produce many errors. According to Jack Fisiak “to define „error’ in a formally rigorous and pedagogically insightful way or to systematically account for the occurrence of errors either in linguistic or psychological terms. 5 It is a way of looking at errors made by the learners of the target language. Error analysis is an independent source of v alid data. It provides information on students’ errors, which in turn helps teachers to correct students’ errors, and also improves the 4 http:journals.cambridge.orgactiondisplayAbstract?fromPage=onlineaid=2641948 5 Jack Fisiak, Constrantive Linguistics and the Language Teacher, England, Pentagon Press Ltd, 1981,p.221-222 8 effectiveness of their teaching. Apparently errors give sign to teacher and researchers how target language learning is successfully achieved. According to Pit Corder as quoted by Brown: „A learner’s errors are significant [that] they provide the researcher the learner is employing in the discovery of the language. 6 Corder explained , “Our object in error analysis is to explain error linguistically and psychologically in order to help the learner to learn ” 7 Guntur Taringan said: “Analysis kesalahan adalah suatu prosedur kerja, yang biasa digunakan oleh para peneliti dan guru bahasa, yang meliputi pengumpulan sample pengidentifikasian yang terdapat dalam sample, penjelasan kesalahan tersebut, pengklasifikasian kesalahan itu berdasarkan penyebabnya, serta pengevaluasi antara keseriusan kesalahan itu” 8 To be more detail, Sharma explained,” Error analysis is defined as a process based on analysis of learners error with the one clear objective evolving a suitable and effective teaching learning strategy and remedial measure necessary in certain clearly market out areas of the foreign language. 9 From some statements above, it can be seen that errors in learning a second language are caused by the interference of the learners’ mother tongue. In other words, errors made the learners sometimes are caused by use of the first language. So, the writer tries to conclude that error analysis is a way of looking at error made by the learner of the target language. 3. The Cause of Error One of the first and most important studies conducted in the field of Error Analysis was the one done by Richards. His study involved learners 6 Brown,op.cit.,p.217 7 S.
