the researcher concluded that students of SMAN 1 Bone were made errors
in writing descriptive text In the types errors included omission, addition,
misformation and misordering. The students made the common errors in
omission.
2. The students made errors in writing descriptive text is caused by inter
lingual errors and intra lingual errors but in this research, the researcher
found out the causes of the common grammatical errors made by students
was inter lingual error because the usage of the mother tongue by the
students who has not known the rules of target language will use the same
rules as he obtained in his native language and the students usually transfer
the system of mother tongue into foreign language that they learn. Many
students made error caused of their mistake to put the word in sentence, the
students also writes by using form of their mother tongue, students often
repeat their mistake by carelessness in writing, sometimes the students did
not pay attention in writing. The students also often forget the meaning, the
form even mistake when they are writing.
B. Suggestion
Error is something unavoidable in teaching and learning process of foreign
language. Therefore it can be improved by learn more about both enhance
vocabularies and grammatical function. Here are some suggestions that hopefully
can be applied in teaching and learning process.
1. For the English Teacher
From the recent findings show that students still made errors in omission,
The lack knowledge about the rule of writing is the one of many problems
that caused students became confuse in written process, so they still made
errors. The teacher should be able to increase and improve their student’s
knowledge and their knowledge about writing descriptive text. The teacher
also gives motivation for the students to practice their ability in various
aspects of English skill.
2. For the Next Researcher
Here, the researcher suggests to the next researcher can analyze the types
and the causes errors in writing descriptive text by the levels of language
deeper and better than this research. Then the different object such as the
errors in the oral production or the error in the students’ task. The other
researcher can analyze by using the different manner. And also the next
researchers are expected to extend this research. So, the reader will have
better and deeper understanding related to the study.
