Abstract

Errors in inflectional morphology remain a persistent challenge in EFL learners’ writing, particularly in Indonesian contexts where in-depth analyses of error patterns and their underlying causes are still limited. This study aims to identify the types of inflectional morphological errors produced by English students at Tadulako University and to examine the factors contributing to these errors. Adopting a descriptive qualitative design, this study involved 20 fifth-semester students from the English Education Study Program. Data were collected through document analysis of students’ written assignments and semi-structured interviews with five selected participants. The data were analyzed using systematic error analysis procedures, including error identification, classification into inflectional categories, explanation of error sources, and frequency analysis. The findings indicate that verb inflection errors are the most prevalent, particularly in tenses marking and subject–verb agreement, followed by errors in plural and possessive forms. These errors are primarily attributed to first language interference, insufficient grammatical knowledge, and limited exposure to accurate language use in writing practice. This study contributes to EFL pedagogy by providing a more nuanced understanding of learners’ difficulties in using inflectional morphology and underscores the importance of integrating explicit grammar instruction with meaningful writing practice to enhance grammatical accuracy.

Abstract

This study investigates the pronunciation difficulties experienced by third-semester EFL students at Tadulako University in producing the English interdental fricative sounds /θ/ and /ð/. The objectives of this study are to identify the most difficult fricative sounds and to determine the factors influencing these difficulties. This study employed a descriptive quantitative design involving 16 students of the English Education Study Program. The data were collected through a pronunciation test and a questionnaire. The pronunciation test required students to read 20 words containing /θ/ and /ð/, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The questionnaire data were analyzed using mean scores and percentage distribution. The findings reveal that /θ/ was the most problematic sound, frequently substituted with /t/, while /ð/ was less problematic and occasionally replaced with /d/. The results also show that 9 students achieved excellent scores, while others showed varying levels of difficulty. In terms of influencing factors, mother tongue influence and psychological factors were identified as the most dominant, each contributing 21.3% to pronunciation difficulties. These findings indicate that first language interference and learners’ anxiety play significant roles in students’ pronunciation performance.
