Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk : (1) mengidentifikasi jenis-jenis kesalahan pada grammar siswa kelas X di SMK Negeri 2 Singaraja dalam menulis teks recount, dan (2) menjelaskan penyebab dari kesalahan pada grammar dalam menulis teks recount oleh siswa kelas X di SMK Negeri 2 Singaraja. Subjek penilitian ini adalah para siswa kelas X jurusan Akomodasi Perhotelan 1 di SMK Negeri 2 Singaraja. Penelitian ini merupakan sebuah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif yang menggunakan tugas menulis dan wawancara sebagai instrument terpenting dalam mengumpulkan data. Teori dari Azar mengenai klasifikasi error digunakan untuk meneliti jenis kesalahan pada grammar yang dilakukan oleh subjek penelitian. Ada 14 jenis kesalahan pada grammar yang diklasifikasikan oleh Azar (1989) dan seluruh jenis tersebut teridentifikasi pada tulisan teks recount siswa. Kesalahan tersebut yaitu, verb tense (27.76%), add a word (16.18%), capitalization (11.49%), omit a word (10.66%), word choice (8.09%), spelling (8.00%), meaning not clear (6.43%), word form (4.04%), word order (3.49%), singular/plural (1.75%), incomplete sentence (0.83%), article (0.74%), run-on-sentence (0.37%), dan punctuation (0.18%). Penyebab kesalahan pada grammar tersebut diklasifikasikan menurut teori Richard (1979) mengenai klasifikasi sumber eror, yaitu: interference, intralingual, dan developmental. Sumber kesalahan menurut Brown yang juga digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah communication strategy. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa interference merupakan penyebab kesalahan grammar tertinggi pada subjek, ini disebabkan oleh pengaruh bahasa ibu yang begitu kental sehingga ketika menulis kalimat berbahasa Inggris, para subjek tetap terpaku pada struktur bahasa ibu mereka.
