The objectives of the research were to know whether the students make errors in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) in adjective clause and to know the types of errors by the Second Year of SMA Fatahillah. The problem was formulated into do the students make errors in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) in adjective clause? What the types of errors that the students make? And What kind of relative pronoun which the students often make errors?

This research used descriptive qualitative and the intruments of this research were written test and interview. Furthermore, after the writer collected the data, then analyzed them by using formula: % = x 100% So, the writer described and interpreted the data about what the types of errors that the students made in using realtive pronouns (who, whom, which, whose).

The finding of this research were about the students’ errors on using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) by describing the frequency of error in the squence based on the most to the least frequency of errors, there were: whose, who, whom, and which. Meanwhile, the most students made error in the relative pronoun whose with the highest precentage error 39.75%. Furthermore, in the type of error, most studetns made error in misselection with 70.94%, omission 20.9%, and addition 8.97%. It can be concuded that the most students of the Second Year (Social) of Fatahillah Senior High School have not mastered yet in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) of adjective clauses especially in using relative pronoun whose.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah siswa membuat kesalahan-kesalahan dalam menggunakan kata ganti penghubung (who, whom, which, whose) dalam adjective clause dan untuk mengetahui jenis-jenis kesalahan yang dibuat oleh siswa kelas XI SMA Fatahillah. Masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah apakah siswa-siswa membuat kesalahan dalam penggunaan kata ganti penghubung (who, whom, which, whose) dalam adjective clause? Apa saja jenis kesalahan siswa dalam pengguanaan kata ganti penghubung (who, whom, which, whose)? Dan apa saja macam-macam kesalahan dalam penggunaan kata ganti penghubung (who, whom, which, whose) yang sering dibuat siswa?

Penelitian ini menggunakan deskriptif kualitatif dan instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah tes tulis dan wawancara. Selanjutnya, setelah penulis mengumpulkan data, kemudian menganalisis data tersebut menggunakan rumus: % = x 100% Jadi, penulis mendeskripsikan dan menginterpretasikan data tersebut tentang apakah jenis-jenis kesalahan-kesalahan yang siswa buat dalam penggunaan kata ganti penghubung (who, whom, which, whose).

Hasil penelitian ini tentang kesalahan-kesalahan yang dibuat oleh siswa dalam menggunakan kata ganti penghubung (who, whom, which, whose) dengan jumlah tingkat kesalahan yang digambarkan secara berurutan dari hasil yang tertinggi sampai terendah, meliputi: whose, who, whom, dan which. Sementara itu, kesalahan yang paling banyak dibuat siswa adalah dalam menggunakan kata ganti penghubung whose dengan presentase kesalahan tertinggi 39,75%. Selanjutnya, dalam jenis-jenis kesalahan, sebagian besar siswa membuat kesalahan dalam misselection dengan presentase 70,94%, omission 20,9%, dan addition 8,97%. Jadi dapat disimpulkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa kelas XI (IPS) SMA Fatahillah belum menguasai dalam menggunakan kata ganti penghubung (who, whom, which, whose) dalam adjective caluses terutama dalam menggunakan kata ganti penghubung whose.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study

In Indonesia, English language should be learnt and it is one of complusory subject in every education level, that is Junior High School or Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP), Senior High School or Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA), and even in Universities. In addition, English language includes as local content subject in educational level of Elementary School or Sekolah Dasar (SD) in the country. In teaching process in education levels is based on the guideline of rules that stated by the goverment in the curriculum.

The Curriculum provides some rules about teaching English material for each level or education. It states the objective of the teaching learning process that held in Draft of Badan Standarisasi Nasional Pendidikan (BNSP) April, 12nd 2006 which consist of Standar Kompetensi (SK) or Standard Competence and Kompetensi Dasar (KD) or Basic Competence for each language skill – Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing. Two of them divided into two categories, receptive skills (listening and reading) and productive skills (speaking and writing). Besides, the four skills, the language components or sub-skills such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and so on. Grammar is one of the sub-skills that should be mastered in English learning by the students.

Like any other language learning situations, Indonesian students face some difficulties in learning English. The problem may have been caused by some factors that are related to one another to achieve its goals. The students are expected to develop their English skills (reading, listening, speaking, writing), memorizing vocabularies, and using appropriate structures. The material is becoming the main difficulty that students faced. Because most students assumed that English grammar is the most difficult part to be learnt.

The English grammar is different from Indonesian grammar. In English there are many types of relative pronouns and they also have different function and usage. First, for person used relative pronouns who, whom, whose, or that;


(15)

who has function as subject, whom has function as object, whose has function as possessive adjective, and that has function as subject or object. Next, for a thing used which or that; which/that has function as subject or object. In Indonesia, relative pronoun yang used in any position in sentence and doesn’t change, and it also make the students are confused to use English grammar.

For example:

Perempuan yang memakai baju warna merah adalah adik saya. And

Laki-laki yang saya temui kemarin adalah paman saya. Possible responds:

*The woman whom wears red shirt is my little sister.

(correct: the woman who wears red shirt is my little sister.)

And

*The man who I met yesterday is my uncle.

(correct: the man whom I met yesterday is my uncle.)

According to Penny Ur, ”There is no doubt that knowledge – implicit or explicit – of grammatical rules is essential for the mastery of language: you cannot use words unless you know how they should be put together.”1It’s very clear that learning grammar is important for students.

In English grammar, all the English words are devided into nine great classes. These calsses are called Part of Speech; they are article, noun, adjective, pronoun, verb, adverb, preposition, conjuntion, and interjection. Of these, Pronoun is the important one that occurs in a sentence. A pronoun is a word used in place of one or more than one noun. It may stand for a person, place, thing, or idea.2 Then, Frank explained that there are five classes of pronouns: personal, relative, interrogative, demonstrative, and indefinite.3 Relative pronoun is a word that is preceding a relative clause. It is an introductory word that has noun

antecedent meanings as a person, a thing, a time, a palce, or a reason functioning as subject, object of verb, object of preposition, or possesive adjective.4

Relative pronouns is one of material that should be learnt by the students at Senior High School. The writer would like to show the common errors that the students of Fatahillah Senior High School made when they used relative pronouns. She conducted on April, 1st 2014. She gives pre-test to the students that consist of 20 questions, it is devided into two parts. First, it consists of 10 questions of multiple choice, to choose the right one whether A, B, C, or D. Second, it also consists of 10 questions asking the students to complete the sentences by filling in the blank spaces with the right relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose). The test is conducted for knowing wether the students do errors in using relative pronouns or not. For examples of completing sentences;

Table 1.1

The Examples of Student’s Error in Using Relative Pronouns

(who, whom, which, whom) *Aminah whom won the English

debate came to my home.

Aminah who won the English debate came to my home.

*The person who I phoned last night is my uncle.

The person whom I phoned last night is my uncle.

*The letter whose came from Andi is on the drawer.

The letter which came from Andi is on the drawer.

These sentences in left column are definitely incorrect, and the right column are correct one. The first sentence in left column is incorrect because the students use relative pronoun ‘whom’ instead of ‘who’ the function as subject (Aminah came to my home. She won the English debate). The second sentence is also incorrect, because they use relative pronoun ‘who’ instead of ‘whom’ the function as object (The person is my uncle. I phoned him last night). And the last sentence is incorrect, because they use relative pronoun ‘whose’ instead of ‘which’ the usage is for thing (the letter).

Commonly, the various difficulties will be faced by students at school. One of the reason why the students faced difficulties in learning, it is because their learning attitude. When the teacher explained the materials some students give their attention fully, and some other did not. Furthermore, some students can receive the materials easily, and some other cannot.

From the background above, the writer would like to try to write about

“An Analysis on Students’ Errors in Using Relative Pronouns (Who, Whom,

Which, Whose)” (A Case Study in the Second Year of Fatahillah Senior High

School).

B. Identification of The Problem

Based on the background of the study above, there are some problems that can be identified:

1. Most of students in Fatahillah Senior High School still have some errors how to apply the correct relative pronouns in adjective clause. 2. The students cannot differentiate the function of relative pronouns

whether it is subject, object or possesive.

3. The students cannot differentiate the usage of relative pronouns whether it is for person, or a thing.

C. Limitation of the Problem

To avoid misunderstanding in interpreting the problem, it is necessary to make limitation of the problem. The writer limited the problem only on the students’ errors in using relative pronouns (which, who, whom, whose) of adjective clauses at the second year of Fatahillah Senior High School.

D. Formulation of the problem

Based on the statement above, the writer formulates her problems as follows:


(18)

1. Do the students make errors in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) in adjective clause?

2. What are the types of error that the students make?

3. What kind of relative pronoun which the students often make errors?

E. The Objectives of The Study

According to the statement of the problem above, the objectives of the study are as follows:

1. to know whether the students make some errors in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) in adjective clause or not.

2. to find out the frequency of occurence of each type of errors in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) in adjective clause.

3. to find out the frequency of each kind of relative pronouns errors such as; who, whom, which, whose in adjective clause.

F. The Significances of The Study

The results of this study are expected to provide useful information for: 1. English teachers

The result of this study for English teachers to get clearly information about the types and sources of students’ errors in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose), so they will give proper treatment to decrease students’ errors in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose).

2. Students

The students will get proper treatment in decreasing their errors in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose), so they can express relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) effectively and correctly in their communication whether spoken or written.


(19)

3. Further researchers

Other researchers who are interested in analyzing of students’ errors at Senior High School can get the basic information from this study, so they can do their research in deeper, further, and better technique.

CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

A. Adjective Clause

1. The Definition of Adjective Clause

English is a foreign language which has different characteristic from our language. Learning new language means establishing new system of the language where learners have to learn many aspects of new language which are very different from their native language such as vocabulary, sound of the words (pronunciation), spelling, semantics, rules of grammar and so on.

Although grammar does not belong to English skills, it is no doubt that knowledge of grammatical rules is essential to be learnt for mastering a language and it would be impossible to learn language effectively without knowing the grammar.

First, before the writer giving the definition of relative pronoun, she would like to explain about adjective clause. To know adjective clause is essential because in the English Textbooks, magazines, newspapers, and the other frequently use the adjective clauses.

There are many experts who state the definition of adjective clause. According to Elbaum said An adjective clause is a group of words (with subject and verb) that describes a noun.1 As Huddleston and Pullum said that a relative clause is a special kind of subordinate clause whose primary function is as modifier to a noun or nominal.2 In addition, an adjective (or relative) clause is one type of dependent clause. It modifies a noun or pronoun or occasionally a whole sentence.3 Altenberg and Vago said that a relative caluse (adjective clause) is a kind of dependent clause; it provides additional information about a noun phrase

(21)

in the main clause.4 An adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun. It describes, indentifies, or gives further information about a noun. (An adjective clause is also called a relative clause).5

From the definitions above, the writer concludes that adjective clause is a clause which modifies or decribeds noun or pronoun as antecedent.

2. The Types of Adjective Clauses

According to Yule, relative caluse can be divided into two types restrictive clause and non restrictrive clause relative clauses. Restrictive relative clause is term for rlative clause which defines or restricts the reference of the noun.6 Furthermore, it can be understood; restricted relative caluse serves to restrict the reference of the noun phrase modified. A non-restrictive relative clause give extra information aboout antecedent.7 Non-restrictive relative clause is indicated commass arroud it. The characteristic is used because the noun’s reference is already clear and thus the clause does not restrict it.

(22)

B. Relative Pronouns

1. The Understanding of Relative Pronouns

The students used relative pronouns to join two statements that refer to the person or thing in adjective clause (relative clause). According to Frank, relative pronouns refer to noun antecedents which immediately precede them. They introduce adjective clauses in which they serve as subjects or objects.8 In the other definiton “A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a dependent clause.”9

Example: I met a woman. She can Speak six languages.

I met a woman who can Speak six languages.10

Based on the definition above the writer concluded, relative pronoun is a pronoun that is used to combine two sentences and cut the same part on it become one sentence.

2. The Types of Relative Pronouns

In her Modern English Grammar, Frank explained that there are five noun antecedent meanings functioning the relative pronouns, they are:

a. A person: relative pronouns used here are who (whom or whose) and that. Illustrative sentences:

1) He paid the money to the man who (or that) had done the work. (The introductory word functioning as subject)

2) He paid the man whom (or that) he had hired. (the introductory word functioning as object of verb)

3) He paid the man from whom he had borrowed the money. (The introductory word functioning as object of preposition)

4) This is the girl whose picture you saw. (The introductory word functioning as possessive adjective)

b. A thing: relative pronouns used here are which and that. Illustrative sentences:

1) Here is a book which (or that) describes animals. (The introductory word functioning as subject)

2) The chair which (or that) he broke is being repaired. (The introductory word functioning as object of verb)

3) She was wearing the coat for which she had paid $2,000. (The introductory word functioning as object of preposition)

c. A time: relative adverb used here is when. Illustrative sentence:

This is the year when the Olympic Games are held. d. A place: relative adverb used here is where.

Illustrative sentence:

Here is the house where I live.

e. A reason: relative adverb used here is why. Illustrative sentence:

Give me a good reason why you did that.11

C. Error Analysis

1. Definitions of Errors and Errors Analysis

Learning foerign language is different from learning our mother tongue, and it is possible that the learners make errors in a foreign language. In this case, Dullay, Burt and Khrasen mention that errors are the flawed side of learner speech or writing. They are those part of conversation or composititon of that deviate from some selected norm of mature language performance.12 Errors in learning a new language are related to the learners’ competence. Although it is a common thing, having poor understanding of target language will lead the learners to do mistakes and errors.

When the students learn about target language, they make lots of error. It is natural part of language accquistion prosess. How to know the students’ errors are needed the error analysis.

11

Frank, op. cit., p. 47

12

Heidi Dulay, Mariana Burt, and Stephen Krashen, Language Two, (New York: Oxford University Press, Inc., 1982), p.138


(24)

The fact that learners do make errors and that these errors can be observed, analyzed, and classified to reveal something of the system operating within the learner, led to a surge of study of learners’ error, called error analysis13

Error analysis is the process based on analysis of learner’s error in their process of second language learning. Error analysis is valuable source of information to teachers. It provides information on learner’s error which helps teachers to correct it and also improves the effectiveness of their teaching. In other words, errors give sign to teacher and researcher whether the learning process is successful or not.

2. The Differences Between Errors and Mistakes

In order to analyze learners’ language in a proper perspective, it is important to distinct between mistakes and errors. Errors and mistakes are the two synonyms, that a little bit have same meaning, but in learning language, these words have different in meaning. There are various definitions of errors and mistakes that have been presented by linguists. However, basically those definitions have same meaning while the difference lies only on the way they formulate it.

Brown states that a mistake refers to a performance error that is either a random guess a “slip”, in that it is a failure to utilize a known system correctly. Whereas errors of a second language learner, idiosyncrasies in the language of the learner that are direct manifestations of a system within which a learner is operating at the time. An error, a noticeable deviation from the adult grammar of a native speaker, reflects the competence of the learner.14 James stated an error arises only when there was no intention to commit one.15 Furthermore, an erroneous utterance is that which was made unintentionally, whereas when there is an intention to produce a deviant utterance call it deviance. However, Richard

14

Ibid p. 257 15

Carl James, Errors in Language Learning and Use: Exploring Error Analysis, (New York: Wesley Longman Inc., 1998), p. 77


(25)

sated mistake is made by a learner when writing or speaking which is caused of lack of attention, fatigue, carelessness, or other aspects of performance.16

Based on the definition above, the writer concluded that mistakes in using language because they slip their tongue or their spelling, lack of attention, carelessness, sick or some other factors of performance. These are easily coorected by the students themselves since they understand the concept of the language system. An error is made by a learner because of lacking ability of the target language.

3. The Sources of Error

An error analysis is usesd to identify errors in second language learner production, and errors are something that cannot be avoided in learning new language. Its a natural process in this condition where it is caused of some factors. Hubard identified three causes of errors: mother-tongue interference, overgeneralization and errors encouraged by teaching material or method.17

Meanwhile, Brown identifies that there are four sources of errors, namely interlingual transfer, intralingual transfer, context of learning, and communication strategies.

a. Interlingual Transfer

Interlingual transfer is a significant source of error for all learners. It is influenced by the interference of students’ mother tongue. The knowledge and the culture of the first languge are really affecting them, so they often make errors caused by the intrerlingual factor. Students frequently use or even, mix up their first language in producing the target language.

Learner may do errors as the following examples:

Indonesian sentence : Laki-laki tua yang saya jumpai kemarin malam adalah tetangga baru saya.

English sentence : *The old man who I meet last night is my new neighbour.

16

Jack C. Richards, Error Analysis: Perspective on Second Language Acquisition, (London: Longman Group, Ltd., 1985), p. 95.

17

Peter Hubbard, et.al., A Training courses for TEFL, (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1983), p. 140-142.


(26)

This error happens because the learners apply their native language structure into their L2. They just translate the word yang to who, and jumpai to meet in English, so, they will attempt to make *The old man who I meet last night is my new neighbour. This sentence are definately wrong the learner because they use relative pronoun ‗who’ instead of ‗whom’ the function as object, and use V1 (meet) instead of V2 (met) that show in the past time. Here, the correct sentence: The old man whom I met last night is my new neighbour.

b. Intralingual Transfer

Intralingual transfer directly related to the target language. This is the major factor in second language learning. Students have to learn a new language and acquire its new system in every aspect which is commonly different from their first language. Therefore, sometimes they will face difficulties and make errors in learning.

c. Context of Learning

This source of error is beyound the context of language. It refers to the learning process which is affected by the circumtance, the teacher, the source of learning, for example textbook and the learner itself. Students can make errors because of the teacher’s wrong explanation that have been given to the students. Then, the textbook also can contribute to the students’ errors if it is fault to present good content such as structures of words.

d. Communication Strategies

Learning style also related to the students’ errors. The way they learn language could be source of errors if they are careless to produce utterences or sentences using the target language. The focus of the language improvement should not make the unnecessary errors.18

4. The Types of Error

Dulay, Burt, and Krashen described consideration of errors into three major types of taxonomy, 1. Error Types based on linguistic category, 2.

18


(27)

Surface strategy Taxonomy, 3. Error types based on comparative of Taxonomy.19

The surface strategy taxonomy highlights the ways surface structures are occur. The students may omit necessary items (omission), or add unnecessary ones (additions), they may misformation items (selection) or misorder them (misordering).20

a. Omission

Omission errors are characterized by the absence of an item that must appear in a well-formed utterance. Although any morpheme or word in a sentence is a potential candidate for omission, some types of morphemes are omitted more than others.

For example omission of to be: *Aminah a smart student.

Aminah is a smart student.

b. Additions

Additional errors are the opposite of omission. They are characterized by the presence of an item which must not appear in a well-formed utterance. It usually occurs in the later stages of L2 acquisition, when the learner has already acquired some target language rules. In fact, additions errors result from the all-too-faithful use of certain rules.

For example addition In present error: *Aisyah and Andi goes to library. In morphology : *The books is here.

c. Double Marking

Many addition errors are more accurately described as the failure to delete certain items which are required in some linguistic constructions, but not in others. For example in past tense error: *She didn’t went/goed

In present tense error: *He doesn’t knows my name d. Regularization

A rule typically applies to a class of linguistic items, such as the class of main verbs or the class of nouns. In most languages, however, some members

19

Dulay, op. cit., p. 146

20


(28)

of a class are expectations to the rule. For example, the verb eat does not become eated, but ate; the noun sheep is also sheep in the plural, not sheeps. e. Simple addition

Errors are the “grab bag” subcategory of additions. If an addition error is not double marking or regularization, it is called a simple addition. No particular features characterize simple additions other than those that characterize all addition errors—the use of an item which should not appear in a well-formed utterance.

For example in 3rd person singular –s: * The fishes doesn’t live in the water in past tense (Irregular): * The train is gonna broke it

f. Misformation

Misformation errors are characterized by the use of the wrong form of the morpheme or structure. While in omission errors the item is not supplied at all in misformation-errors the learner supplies something, although it is incorrect. For example: * The dog eated the chicken.

In a past tense marker was supplied by the learner; it was just not the right one. As in the case of additions, misformation is usually not random. Thus, three types of misformation have been frequently reported in the literature: (1) regularizations; (2) archi-forms; and (3) alternating forms.

1) Regularization errors

Regularization errors that fall under the misformation category are those in which a regular marker is used in place of an irregular one, as in runned for ran or gooses for geese.

For example in the regularization errors in the misformation category observed in child L2 production:

Linguistic Item Misformed Example Reflexive Pronoun *Hisself (himself)

Regular Past *I falled (fell)


(29)

2) Archi-forms

The selection of one member of a class of forms to represent others in the clas is a common characteristic of all stages of second language acquisition. We have called the form selected by the learner an archi-form. For example, a learner may temporarily select just one of the English demonstrative adjectives this, that, these, and those, to do the work for several of them:

* That dog * That dogs

For this learner, that is the archi-demonstrative adjective representing the entire class of demonstrative adjectives.

Learner may also select one member of the class of personal pronouns to function for several others in the class. For example:

* Give me that * Me hungry

3) Alternating Forms

As the learner’s vocabulary and grammar grow, the use of archi-forms often gives way to the apparently fairly free alternation of various members of a class with each other; Thus, we see for demonstratives:

* Those dog * This cats g. Misordering

Misordering errors are characterized by the incorrect placement of a morpheme or group of morphemes in an utterance. For example, in the utterance.

He is all the time late. (all the time is misordered)

James stated there are five types of errors based on target modification taxonomy, they are:

a. Omission ( O )

Here James makes distinction about Elipsis (E) and from Zero (Z) elements which are allowed by grammar, whereas omission is ungramatical. Compare two sentences below:


(30)

He’ll pass this exam but I won’t [pass my exam]. Elipsis He’ll pas his exam and I’ll [ O ] too. Omission

The learners tends to affect function words rather than content words in early stages. Moreover, advanced learners tend to be aware of their ignorance of content words, rather than omit one.

b. Addition

First, regularization which involves overlooking exceptions and spreading rules to domain where they do not apply. For example producing regular *buyed for bought.

Second, double marking, defined as ‗failure to delete certain items which are required in some linguistic constuctions but not in other. Example: He doesn’t know*s me contains a redundant third person –s on the main verb know, redundant because the auxiliary do already carries that maker.

Third, simple addition, which caters for all additions not describable as double markings or regularizations. Example: The young woman *whom sits in the corner is my sister. The learners use relative pronoun whom rather than who The young woman *whom sits in the corner is my sister. The student add morpheme –m in that sentence. The correct one is relative pronoun who which has function as subject. The young woman who sits in the corner is my sister.

c. Misformation (Misselection)

This is Dulay, Burt and Krashen’s third category, they define misformation as use of the wrong form of a structure or morpheme, and give example:

I *seen her yesterday.

It is indeed that seen for saw is use of the wrong form, but they are call it misformation. It is not misformation, what the learner who produced this error has done is not misform but misselect, and these should be called misselection.

d. Misordering

This category is relatively uncontroversial. Some languages have stricter word-order regulation than others. Russian is freer than English. Modern English is less free in itd word order than old English. In English certain word classes seem to be especially sensitive to misordering, for instance adverbials,


(31)

interrogatives, and adjectives, example: *He every time comes late home. James called misordering with misplacement.

e. Blends

This is one category that complements the target modification taxonomy. It is typical of situations where there is not just one well-defined target, but two. The learner is undecided about which of these two targets he has ‗in mind’. In such situations the type of error that materializes is the blend error, sometimes called

the contamination or cross-association or hybridization error. Example:

*according to Erica’s oppinion, which arises when two alternative grammatical forms are combined to produce an ungrammatical blend. In this example according to Erica’s and in Erica’s oppinion seem to have been blended.21

5. The Procedure of Error

The methodology of error analysis, consisted of the following steps: a. Collection of data (either from a ‗free’composition by students on a given

theme of from examination answers);

b. Identification of errors (labelling with varying degrees of precision depending on the linguistic sophistication brought to bear on the task, with respect to the exact nature of the deviation, eg dangling preposition, anomalous sequence of tenses, etc);

c. Classification into error types (eg errors of agreement, articles, verb forms, etc) d. Statement of relative frequency of error types;

e. Identification of the areas of difficulty in the target language; f. Therapy (remedial drills, lessons, etc).22

Moreover, Gass and Selinker identified four steps followed in conducting an error analysis: identifying errors, describing errors, explaining errors, and error evaluation.23

a. Identifying errors

23

Susan M. Gass & Larry Selinker, Second Language Aquisition: An Introductory Course, (New York: Taylor & Francis, 2008), Third Edition, p. 15


(32)

The first step in analysing learners error is to identify them. Look at the example below:

Go to the Zoo

My family and I go to the zoo yesterday. We saw many animals there, like tiger, giraffe, camel, elephant, birds, etc. I rode the horse. We are very happy to visit the zoo.

In the first sentence the student do error, *My family and I go to the zoo yesterday.

It is no difficult to see that the correct sentence should be: My family and I went to the zoo yesterday.

The student write the infinitive ‗go’, but the correct one is past tense ‗went’.

The last sentence is also incorrect, *We are very happy to visit the zoo.

By comparing the two sentences we can see that the student has used are instead of were – an error in subject-verb agreement.

b. Describing errors

After all the errors have been identified, they can described and calssified into types. One way is to classify errors into gramatical catagories. James stated there are four types of errors one of all is error based surface structure taxonomy, which are omission, addition, misformation, misordering, and blends.

c. Expalining errors

After identified and described the errors, next step is to explain why the errors occur. By trying to identify source errors. Pit corder (in Hubbard, 1983) calims that there are three major causes of error, which he labels ‗transfer errors’, ‗analogical errors’, and ‗teaching-induced errors’. While Hubbard propposed a different names; mother-tongue interference, overgeneralization, and errors encouraged by teaching material method.24

24


(33)

d. Error evaluation

In this step, the researcher must decide the criteria of errors which will be corrected because some errors can be considered more serious than other.

In short, the aim of evaluating errors is to distinct which errors will be corrected so the learner, which made an error, will not be stress of getting correction.

D.The Previous Related Study

This research is relevant to three previous researchers. They are Ahmad Syarif, Hanifah Lestyawati and Rina Wahyu Andriyani.

First study, Ahmad Syarif in his research An Analysis of Students’ Errors in Using Adjective Clause (2011) which conducted at the second year students of MAN 4 Cijeruk Bogor. The objective of his study are to know the students’ errors in using adjective clauses and to know why do the students face such difficulies in using adjective clauses. He used the analysis by using descriptive method. He foud that most of students made error on ‗whom’ with the average of error is 82.80%. On the other hand, the lowest one is ‗who’ with the average 30.11% and the causes of students’ difficulities in using adjective clause came from internal and external factor.25

Afterwards, Hanifah lestyawati conducted a case study about An Analysis on Students’ Error in Using Adjective clause (Who, Whose, Whom). The objective of her study is to identify wheather the students make error in using adjective clause with relative pronoun who, whose, whom and to find the source of errors which affects the students to make errors in using adjective clauses with relative pronoun who, whose whom in second grade of Madrasah Aliyah Pembangunan UIN. He used qualitative research which research design was a case study. The finding shows that the totals of errors produced by the learner was 175 times and misformation which recurred 107 times or 60% and misorder was commited by

25


(34)

the learner 70 times or 40%. Furthermore, the source of error that influenced in her research were interlingual, intralingual, and contex of learning.26

Furthermore, the other study was by Rina Wahyu Andriyani in An Anlysis on Students’ Error in Using Adjective Clause by second year of SMA Nusantra Plus Ciputat-Tangerang (2012). Her study categorized as a decriptive qualitative research. The objectives of her research are to know the types of errors made by the Second Year Students of SMA Nusantara Plus in using relative pronouns of adjective clause and to know the causes of errors made by the Second Year Students of SMA Nusantara Plus in using relative pronouns of adjective clause. The result of her study, the reseacher found four types of errors that students made in using relative pronoun of adjctive clause, they are; misselection (270 or 64%), misordering (88 or 21%), addition (37 or 9%), and omission (25 or 6%). Moreover, the students’ error were caused by ignorance of rule restriction (210 or 49%), false concept hypotesized (89 or 21%), over generalization (70 or 16%), and incomplete application of rules (58 or 14%).27

Based on the related research above, it was almost same as Rina Wahyu Andriyani research that found the type of error and the method of study is descriptive qualitative. In her research, she also found the causes of error in using relative pronouns that occur in adjective clauses. Different from her research, this research only find out the type of error.

E. Thinking Framework

Grammar is one of language components which is taught intensively in learning English process. It is because grammar shows some rules that describe how words and groups of words can be arranged to sentences in a particular language.28 Grammar involves a lot of language elements, relative pronouns is one of students should be master. The students used relative pronouns to join two

statements that refer to the person or thing in adjective clause (relative clause). Language system differences between Indonesian and English in expressing relative pronouns of adjective caluses. These differences sometimes influence students to apply Indonesian grammar rule in expressing English relative pronouns of adjective caluses.

Based on explanations above the writer encouraged to conduct this research. She analyzed students’ errors in using relative pronouns of adjective clauses. This analysis has been carried out to recognize the errors that were made by second year students of SMA Fatahillah.

In order to find out the types of errors produced. She clasiffied the errors based on Target Modification Taxonomy proposed by James, which consists of omission, addition, misselection, misordering, and blends.

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A. Place and Time of the Research

This research began by doing the observation at school, this research was conducted on February, 27th to May, 6th 2014. The writer took her research at Fatahillah Senior High School, which is located on Jl. Raya Buncit – Amil No. 67 RT 02 RW 05 Jakarta Selatan.

B. Method of the Study

The method of this study is descriptive qualitative. It is used to describe the students’ errors. First, the writer gave the written test to the students in the classroom. Second, the writer collected the student’ test, furthermore she analyzed them by describing the precentage of students’ errors in using realtive pronouns (who, whom, which, whose). The last, the writer interpreted the data about what are the types of errors and the most errors that students made.

C. Population and Sample

Population is a significant factor in conducting research. It is the whole subject of research. Based on Encyclopedia of Educational Evaluation in Arikunto, “A population is a set (a collection) of all elements possessing one or more atributes of interest.”1

In this case, the subject of the research is the second year of Fatahillah Senior High School with the total number of the students are 146 and are divided into three classes that is both Science and Social. The writer only took one class, XI Social class, which consists of 24 students.

(37)

D. Data Collecting Technique

In this part, the writer used three techniques in collecting the data, they are: observation, test, and interview.

1. Observation

The writer observed the students’ activity in teaching-learning process.

2. Test

The writer gave the students worksheet to be done based on the writer’s instuctions. After they finished and collected the worksheet, the writer checked their worksheet.

3. Interview

To meet the reason of students’ error in using relative pronouns, the writer used interview to teacher and to students as the technique.

E. Istrument of the Research

In her research, the writer used a test on relative pronouns as an instrument to obtain the data. The test consists of 25 questions. It is divided into two parts. First, it consists of 10 questions of multiple choice, asking the students to choose the right one whether A, B, C, or D. Second, it also consists of 15 questions asking the students to complete the sentences by filling in the blank spaces with the right relative pronouns. The distribution of test and number of each items can be seen in the table below;

F. Technique of Data Analysis

To analyze students’ answer in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) of adjective clauses, the writer identified the error by using the formula as below:2

% = x 100%

Explanation % = Percentage

f = frequency of each error (frequency of wrong answer) n = sum of the Errors

Pronouns which Students’ Made of Multiple Choice and Completion Items

After classifying the types of error into each type, the writer would like to describe the frequency of error in using relative pronouns which students’made of multiple choice and completing items from the highest to the lowest.

First, the students’errors are misselection with 166 errors or 70.94%. For example in multiple choice item number 4:

70.94 %

20.09 %

4. You have a cat ... tail is very long.

a. Which c. Whom

b. Whose d. Who

The students choose a. Which (*You have a cat which tail is very long). However, the right answer is b. Whose (You have a cat whose tail is very long). In completion item number 5:

5. This is a book ... author J.K Rowling.

The student writes relative pronoun Whom (*This is a book whom author J.K Rowling). However, the right answer is Whose (This is a book whose author J.K Rowling).

Second, in omission found in the students’ writing with 47 errors or 20.09%. For example in completion item number 8.

8. The person ... I phoned last night is my teacher.

The student writes relative pronoun Who in their worksheet (*The person who I phoned last night is my teacher). The student ommited morpheme “m”. The right answer is Whom (The person whom I phoned last night is my teacher).

Third, in addition found in the students’ writing with 21 errors or 8.97%. For example in completion item number 6.

6. The writer ... won the competition studied in Australia.

The student writes relative pronoun Whom in their worksheet (*The writer whom won the competition studied in Australia). The student add morpheme “m”. The right answer is Who (The writer who won the competition studied in Australia).

After knowing the precentage each type of errors in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose), the writer would like to express the frequency of errors in using relative pronouns that the students made of multiple choice items. Furthermore, to make easier to read, she presents it in following table below:

(50)

The students also made such errors because they learned and proceed new language data in their mind, it also produces a new rules, so they made errors in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) of adjective clauses because they still confused to diferenciate the usage of relative pronouns whether it is as a person or a thing, they also cannot determine the function whether it is as subject, object, or possesive. Furthermore, they did not know the meaning of the sentences. Therefore, from their written test result which consisting multiple choice items and completion items, most of Second Year (Social) of Fatahillah Senior High School got the wrong in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) in a sentence. In conclusion, the students have not mastered yet in understanding relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) of adjective caluses.


(51)

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

A.CONCLUSION

Based on the data from finding research, it is concluded that many students make errors both in the multiple choice items and completion items on using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) of adjective clauses.

From the result of the data type of errors in multiple choice items and completion items of relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) that the students make error in misselection (166 errors or 70.94%). Then, in omission (47 errors or 20.09%). Furthermore, in addition (21 errors or 8.97%). Moreover, the most students made error in using relative pronoun whose with the highest precentage 39,75% or 93 errors.

The study reveals there are many students that do not understand how to use relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) correctly. Espesially on using relative pronoun whose. They are still confused and find difficulties differencing the usage of relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) whether they are functioning as persons or things, they also cannot determine the function whether they are as subject, object, or possessive. Furthermore, they do not know the meaning of the sentences. So, the process of teaching-learning in using relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) of adjective clauses at Second Year (Social) of Fatahillah Senior High School was not done successfully by the researcher as observer.

B.SUGESSTION

By knowing the types of the students’ error, the writer would like to give some suggestions as follow:

1. The teacher should give more explanation and example related to relative pronouns material.

2. The teacher should give many excercises about relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) of adjective clauses.


(52)

3. The teacher should prepare the material teaching for students and remind her students: to have more times in practicing English and to give more attention about the function and the usage of relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) of adjective clauses.

4. It would also, hopefully useful for other researcher to know the students’ gramatical errors of relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose) especially in relative pronoun whose.

Appendix 1b: The Result of English Teacher Interview

Interviewer : Musonah

Interviewee : Niken Saraswati, S.Pd.

Date and Time : 16 Juni 2014, 13.30 – 14.00 WIB Place : Ruang Perpustakaan

1. Materi relative pronouns diajarkan dikelas dua SMA, kebetulan saya guru pengampu. Kesulitan siswa biasanya siswa itu bingung, yang pertama karena mungkin mereka tidak tahu maksudnya/susah menterjemahkan arti dari setiap katanya itu. Yang kedua, mereka kebingungan menggunakan relative pronounsnya sendiri, seperti penggunaan who, whom, which, whose mereka biasanya kebingungan meletakan relative pronounsnya itu dibagian apa, biasanya disitu saya menemukan kesalahan siswa.

2. Strategi yang digunakan biasanya dengan membuat sebuah contoh kalimat yang memang biasa dengan kegiatan sehari-hari, supaya mereka dapat membedakan yang mana pengguanan untuk orang, yang mana penggunaan utk benda dan kedudukannya, misalkan penggunaan relative pronouns sbg subject, object atau sebagai possesive, kalimatnya itu sebisa mungkin dibuat mudah supaya mereka cepat paham. Membuat kalimat yang langsung dipraktekan contoh: buku yang berwarna hijau diatas meja.

3. Pastinya banyak, misalkan penggunaan relative pronounsnya itu sendiri. Misalnya didalam kalimat itu yang diminta diubah untuk kata ganti orang sebagai subject “who” kadang mereka mengguunakannya yang lain, tidak menggunakan who, mereka menggunakan which, atau whose. Salahnya disitu penempatan sebagai relative pronoun sebagai subject, object atau poessive. 4. Biasanya seperti itu tadi mereka slah menempatkan yang seharusnya sebagai

penggnati subject, object, atau posessive. Jadi tertukar-tukar biasanya seperti itu, atau salah penempatan. Jadi kalimat dalam relative pronouns itu sendiri siswa sebenarnya harus tahu dulu mana yang induk kalimat dan mana yang


(57)

anak kalimat. Mereka bisa menempatkan sebagai pengganti subject, object, atau posessive.

5. Yang sering yaitu whose yang sebagai kata ganti posessive, itu kan kata ganti kepunyaan. Siswa biasanya kebanyakan melakukan kesalahan jadi ini berhubungan dengan materi yang tentang kepemilikan. Ini harus diulang lagi siswa harus belajar lagi mengenai kata ganti kepemilikan, jadi dalam kalimat itu harus dijelaskan dengan detail seperti misalkan pada kalimat Andi’s book artinya buku milik Andi, pasti dalam kalimat relative pronouns diganti whose.
