Abstract

This research investigates the dominant noun phrase patterns used by EFL students and identifies the challenges they face in constructing complex noun phrases. A descriptive quantitative design was applied, involving third-semester EFL students majoring in English Education at Tadulako University. Data were collected through tests and questionnaires, validated using the SPSS program to ensure reliability. Results reveal that the most frequently used noun phrase pattern is determiner + noun, accounting for 35% of the total noun phrases produced by students. In contrast, the least utilized pattern is premodifier + noun + postmodifier, representing only 1%. The analysis indicates that sociocultural factors, particularly students' linguistic environments, significantly influence their ability to construct complex noun phrases. Addressing these challenges may involve implementing inclusive curricula and culturally responsive teaching strategies. The findings have implications for curriculum design, emphasizing the need to enhance instructional materials and provide targeted practice to improve students' mastery of complex noun phrase structures.AbstrakPenelitian ini mengkaji pola frasa nomina yang dominan digunakan oleh mahasiswa EFL dan mengidentifikasi tantangan yang mereka hadapi dalam membentuk frasa nomina kompleks.

Abstract

Abstract. This research looked at errors made by the sophomores majoring in English Education of Tadulako University in writing analytical exposition text. It intends to (1) identify the kinds of errors committed by the students in writing the text, and (2) determine the causes of the errors. This is a-qualitative research, employing 20 students enrolled in Text Type Writing course in the Academic Year 2020. Results of the data analysis indicated that there were 421 cases of errors which were then classified into five major categories: orthographic errors, word forms and grammar (morpho-syntactic errors), errors on words and meanings (lexico-semantic), errors in punctuation and errors in capitalization. These errors are caused by influence of the students’ first language (L1) (interlingual errors), lack of target language knowledge (intralingual errors), and communication strategies. This paper addresses error analysis using Dulay’s 1982 Linguistic Category Taxonomy, which so far lack considerably in scientific literature. Previous studies have almost exclusively focused on using Surface Structure Taxonomy, another taxonomy is therefore needed for investigation.   Keywords: Analytical Exposition Text, Error Analysis, Writing Skills
