Abstract

The present study analyzes the types and sources of errors in descriptive text made by the third semester students of English Education Department. The study was conducted through descriptive qualitative method. Students’ writing documents were analyzed. The data analysis technique involved several steps such as identifying, classifying, describing, and counting. The theory proposed by Dulay et al (1982) was used to analyze types of errors and the theory of Brown (2007) was employed to analyze the sources of errors. There were four types of errors and two sources of errors in the students’ writing descriptive text. Those were omission, addition, misformation, and misordering errors. In omission, there were 41 errors (23.29%), addition there were 11 errors (6.25%), misformation , there were  85 errors (48.29%) and in misordering, there were 39 (22.15%). Whereas the sources of errors in this research were interlingual and intralingual errors. The total error of interlingual was 62 errors (35.22%) and intralingual was 114 errors (64.77%). So it can be concluded that the most dominant types of errors found in students writing was misformation error. While Intralingual error was the most frequent of sources of errors based on the finding in this research.
