It tends to make the learners have errors in writing or speaking English. This study investigated the students’ analyses toward grammatical error on social media posts. The subject of research are 15 students of Politeknik Negeri Medan majoring computer engineering.There were 20 errors found by students which were further analyzed by using surface taxonomy theory. This study showed that the students’ analyses were dominantly on misformation analysis, followed by omission, addition, and misordering analysis. Misformation is the highest rate of errors found as it actually covers many grammar topics in english such as tenses, participle, verbal sentence, nominal sentence, part of speech, and others as analyzed by students on social media posts. Besides, no students found blends analysis, it might due to their lack of knowledge of blends itself. Key word: Grammatical error, social media, surface taxonomy theory

Abstract

Language is a vital part of human culture and reflects the identity of a community. Over time, many regional languages face extinction due to a decline in native speakers. One such language is Batak Toba. Its use is decreasing among younger generations because of factors like migration, inter-ethnic marriages, and the growing dominance of Indonesian and foreign languages. If this trend continues, Batak Toba may disappear in the coming generations. This study aims to preserve the Batak Toba language and culture by developing a Trilingual Digital Dictionary (Batak Toba – Indonesian – English). The development follows the 4-D model, which includes defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. The dictionary is evaluated based on its validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The research starts with several analyses: front-end, student, language, task, concept, and goal setting. Then, research instruments are created, media and formats are selected, and an initial prototype is developed. This first version is validated by experts, revised, and tested in classroom settings. Data from these evaluations are analyzed to determine whether the product meets quality standards. The result is a final version of the digital dictionary that is proven to be valid, practical, and effective for language preservation.
