SMP N 2 AMBARAWA IN WRITING RECOUNT

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the types of grammatical errors found in
eight graders in recount writing. The data were collected from 20 students’ essays
of their holiday experience. In analyzing the data, I used steps suggested by
Corder (1974) applied by Ellis and Barkhuizen (2005). With this method, a native
speaker teacher helps identify the grammatical errors in the students’ work and
these errors are later classified based on Politzer and Ramirez’s Linguistic
Taxonomy (1973). Finally, based on the identification of errors, each category of
errors was counted to find each proportion and explained and discussed.
Key words: error analysis, grammatical error, linguistic taxonomy
