<![CDATA[This research is based on real observations at SMA N 2 Purworejo during the School Field Introduction (PLP) activity, it was found that the objective condition was that the majority of grade XI students experienced serious obstacles in writing news texts in accordance with correct linguistic rules. Many of the students' written works showed Indonesian language errors in the use of capital letters, word writing, use of punctuation, writing of absorbed elements, morphological errors, lexicon rule errors, syntactic errors, and discourse rule errors. The low ability to write using correct linguistic rules has an impact on the decline in the quality of students' written communication and the failure to achieve optimal language learning objectives.
