In this field, the method used is descriptive qualitative method and text translation. The data was token from 15 students in one class. The results of the analysis found several errors such as 35 (63.63%) word replacement errors, 15 (27.28%) word omissions, 4 (7.28%) word additions and word rearrangement 1 (100%).
