Abstract

Writing is one of skills in English that must be mastered by students after attending a series of English lessons at school. The purpose of this study was to analyze writing errors in eleventh graders students at SMK ACI Metro. Through this research it is hoped that students can learn from their mistakes and teachers are able to help students solve their problems.

The method of this research was qualitative research in the form of a case study carried out at SMK ACI Metro. The primary sources of this research were the eleventh graders students‟ of SMK ACI Metro that consist 10 students. Data collection of this research is the English teacher instructed the students to write a paragraph about students‟ experiences in studying at home then the researcher analyzes the students‟ writing errors and categorizes the errors.

The author found several categories of student errors in writing including tense, s + verb agreement, preposition and article. The results of this research stated that students had a lot of error in the use of tense, as many as 7 students out of 10 students made mistakes in the tense category. So the writer found that tense is the most dominant error that students make, this error occurs partly because of a lack of knowledge about the types of tense use. While the implications of the dominant error in learning English is that the teacher can find out the category of errors in using sentences that often occur. So teachers can provide more training.
