Abstract
This study analyzes morphological and syntactical errors in English essays written by the third-semester students in the English Department at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. This study would use an Error Analysis (EA) approach to identify, classify errors and determine the types of errors and sources of errors. This study used error types by Dulay, Burt, and Krashen (1982) and intralingual aspects by Richard (1974). This research used the theory of morphological phenomena by O’Grady (1987) and syntactic theory by Finch (2005). In this study, three problems were to solve: (1) What are the morphological errors made by the 3rd-semester students in essay writing? (2) What are the syntactical errors made by the 3rd-semester students in essay writing? (3) What are the sources of errors that 3rd-semester students made in their essay writing? This study used a descriptive research method because it focused more on students’ errors and why they happened. The data of this research are in the form of words, phrases, and sentences from essay documents written by third-semester students majoring in English at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. The subjects of the study were third-semester students of the 2019 academic year majoring in English at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. The researcher involved all third-semester students as the population who took essay writing courses. However, the researcher did not use all students’ essays and, instead, he took two out of four classes as the sample. In taking samples, the researcher used a random sampling technique using a coin toss. This study used two instruments are instructions' lecturers to students for essay assignments during the one-semester course and questions' researcher in interviews with the students. The researcher found that the morphological error students mostly made was omission (59.6%). They mostly do item deletions using “s / es” in the singular noun or plural noun. Meanwhile, the analysis of the type of errors on the syntactic aspect that often appeared was the addition (38.4%). Students often add items that should not be included in the sentence. They have difficulty with determiner aspects (definite article “the” and indefinite article “a / an”) and prepositions.
The researcher found two causes of error, competence factors and performance factors. In the competence factors, on the intralingual aspects as the cause of errors found by the researcher include overgeneralization has the highest frequency (72.32%), incomplete application of the rules (25.68%), ignorance of rule restriction (1.41%), and the last one is the false concept hypothesis (0.59%). The interview found that performance factors that cause the students to make errors are self-distrust, thee-learning system conduct during the COVID-19 outbreak, the teaching methods, and a lack of reading.
