ABSTRAK
Skripsi yang berjudul “An Error Analysis Of The Use Of Simple Sentence Made By The Ninth Grade Students Of SMP Negeri 2 Pancur Batu” berisi tentang analysis kesalahan (error analysis) yang dibuat oleh siswa/i kelas IX. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan masalah-masalah tata bahasa dalam penggunaan kalimat sederhana (simple sentence). Penelitian ini dilakukan di SMP Negeri 2 Pancur Batu. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif. Subjek penelitian ini adalah 32 murid kelas IX1. Instrumen yang digunakan sebagai data adalah kalimat-kalimat sederhana dalam bentuk karangan jenis laporan tentang “kegiatan sehari-hari” yang dibuat oleh siswa/i. Kesalahankesalahan dalam penggunaan kalimat sederhana tersebut diklasifikasikan berdasarkan surface strategy taxonomy, teori oleh Dulay, Burt, dan Krashen yang meliputi kesalahan pengurangan, kesalahan penambahan, kesalahan formasi, dan kesalahan susunan. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa kesalahan tata bahasa dalam penggunaan kalimat sederhana (simple sentence) bervariasi. Kesalahan formasi merupakan kesalahan yang paling sering muncul dengan persentase sebesar (48,52%) yang meliputi verb, preposition, conjunction, noun, adverb, adjective, gerund, modal, be, article, pronoun, dan determiner. Kesalahan susunan muncul dengan persentase sebesar (19,95%) yang meliputi misordering of verb phrase dan misordering of noun phrase. Kesalahan pengurangan muncul dengan persentase sebesar (25,15%) yang meliputi -ing, article, verb, preposition, reflexive pronoun, pronoun, determiner, 3rd person singular verb, possessive marker (‘/’s), dan be. Kesalahan penambahan muncul dengan persentase sebesar ( 11,39%) yang meliputi determiner, plural marker (s/es), –ing, modal, be, possessive marker (‘/’s), verb, preposition, pronoun, adjective, article, noun, dan 3rd person singular verb marker (s/es). Kesimpulan bahwa kemampuan penggunaan kalimat sederhana (simple sentence) oleh siswa/i di SMP Negeri 2 Pancur Batu khususnya kelas IX1 masih kurang baik.
