One of the instructions in the test was to write about their unforgettable experience (recount text). This research used descriptive qualitative method. The data analysis technique used four steps: identifying, classifying, describing, and calculating. The errors were classified into two sources of error: interlingual and intralingual errors. Then, the errors were described into four types: misordering, addition, omission and misformation. The result showed from the total 178 errors, the most frequent source of errors was intralingual error: 139 errors (78,09%), interlingual error: 39 (21,91%). Based on the types of errors, misordering occurred 14 times (7,87%), addition 25 times (14,04%), omission 45 times (25,29%) and misformation 94 times (52,80%). These facts can be essentially used by the teacher to focus on what should be revised to improve the quality of teaching and learning significantly.

Abstract

Since the tour guides are directly interact with the tourists, they should have the ability to complete their daily responsibilities, such as: greetings, welcomes, introductions, and providing information. The objectives of the research are to identify, describe, and analyse the English language requirements for local tour guides at Jagalan Tourism Village in Yogyakarta. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing non-probability sampling techniques such as purposive sampling, snowball sampling, and abundant sampling. Data collection tools included non-participation observation checklists, questionnaires, and structured interview questions. Present Situation Analysis (PSA) and Target Situation Analysis (TSA) were used to analyse the data. The PSA showed that most participants had a basic proficiency in general English, sufficient for guiding tourists at Jagalan Tourism Village. However, TSA indicated that ESP was needed by all participants to focus on integrated language skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) and improve vocabulary related to local tourist attractions, arts, cultures, and traditions. It is important for the local tour guides in Jagalan Tourism Village to enhance their English language skills to effectively communicate with tourists and provide an enriching experience while guiding for the village's attractions and culture.

Abstract

Errors are an inevitable part of second language acquisition, particularly in the learning of grammatical features such as tense. This study aims to analyse the types and frequency of tense-related errors made by first-semester students of the Communication Science program at Amikom University Yogyakarta. Adopting a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected from students’ short-answer tests focusing on five English tenses: simple present, present continuous, present perfect, simple past, and simple future. A total of 660 sentences produced by 33 students were analysed using error analysis procedures, including error identification, classification, and interpretation. The findings reveal that omission was the most frequent error type, accounting for 50% of the total errors, followed by misinformation (32%) and overgeneralization (18%). In terms of tense usage, errors in the simple past tense occurred most frequently (38%), followed by the simple present tense (27%), present perfect tense (27%), present continuous tense (5%), and simple future tense (3%). These results indicate that students experience significant difficulties in applying tense forms accurately, particularly those involving verb inflection and auxiliary usage. The study highlights the importance of targeted grammar instruction and suggests that systematic, error-focused teaching and remedial support may help reduce persistent tense errors and enhance learners’ grammatical accuracy.
