This
study was a case study which explored the errors in writing a recount
text made by 9 students in second grade at one junior high school in the
academic year of 2011/2012. The purposes of this study were to analyze
student’s ability and errors based on text organization and linguistic
features and to find out students’ problems in writing their recount
texts.
The subjects’ errors were identified based on text organization and language features (Emilia, 2011) and categorized into omission errors, addition errors, misformation errors and misordering errors (Dulay, Burt and Krashen, 1982). Misformation errors were the highest consisting of 60.9%, followed by omission errors at 19.5%, addition errors at 17.3% and ordering errors at 2.3%. In analyzing the data, error analysis was used in which there were four steps (Ellis, 1997: 15-20) namely identifying the errors, describing the errors, explaining the errors, and the last step is evaluation the errors. This study revealed that linguistic features of a Recount text were the most difficult areas to master for the students. From the results, this study showed that the possible causes of errors were Interlingual and Intralingual (overgeneralization, ignorance of rule restrictions, incomplete application of rules, and false concepts hypothesized). The further research is expected to investigate the students' errors and the factors that caused students' errors in another text type by employing other strategies of data collection.
