As EFL students, most Indonesian normal students never take apart with the
term ‘grammatical errors’ in learning writing, even in dumb students’ those errors, of
course, more frequently occur than normal students. That is why, grammar subject as
one of the English components must be taught to all schools including the school for
disabled students because the role of grammar is significant to an overall the English
subject to construct sentences correctly in learning writing of a second or foreign
language. From the preliminary study which had been done on March 13
, 2014, it
was reported that more grammatical errors for basic grammar were found on dumb
students’ writing in English on their handbooks. Therefore, analysis of grammatical
errors for this research was intended to be conducted on dumb students’ recount
writing paragraphs. Basically, the objective of this research was either to describe and
to know the kinds of grammatical errors dumb students made in recount writing
paragraphs academic year and the errors made by them at SMALB Bhakti
WanitaLumajang in the 2013/2014 academic year or to know the reason about the
appearance of dumb students’ grammatical errors for each error type.
This research was ‘descriptive study’. The data of this research consisted
primary and supporting data; in which they were obtained by the writing test to get
dumb students’ writing recount paragraphs as the primary data. Then, interview and
documentation to get the information of dumb students’ learning writing in classes
and list of dumb students’ names as the supporting data of this research were taken.
Analysis on dumb students’ recount writing paragraphs was done by giving
codes on their grammatical errors found in their recount writing paragraphs based on
each error types of omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. The
th
population of this research consisted of 8 dumb students studying at SMALB Bhakti
Wanita Lumajang in the 2013/2014 academic year.
Based on the result of data analysis, it could be reported that the percentages
of dumb students’ grammatical errors with 207 total number of errors consisted of
56% with 116 number of error items for omission, 3,4% with 7 errors of addition,
34,3% with 71 errors of misformation, and 6,3 % with 13 errors of misordering
errors. Meanwhile, the kinds of grammatical errors found in dumb students’ recount
writing paragraphs were omission errors in the forms of possessive determiners,
articles, plural marker (-s), possessive inflexion marker (-‘s), adverbs of manner
marker (-ly), prepositions, conjunction marker (and), subject pronouns, verbs, relative
clause ‘which’, and infinitive marker (to). Then, addition errors in the forms of
prepositions, verbs, articles, plural marker (-s) in adjective ‘others’. Next,
misformation errors in the forms of verbs, gerund, words classes for prepositions,
alternating infinitive without ‘to’, alternating infinitive verb into verbs-ing. Finally,
misordering ‘singular subject pronoun’ with ‘plural subject pronouns’ in noun
phrases (I and my family/friend/ father/mother/sister/brother/uncle), the word ‘first’
with ‘our’ in ‘our first destination’, the word ‘at night’ with ‘late’ in ‘late at night’,the
word ‘history’ with ‘Indonesian’ in ‘Indonesian history’, and misordering ‘to
Surabaya’ with ‘by car’ in ‘by car to Surabaya’.
The result of this research can be concluded that grammatical errors made by
dumb students were dominated by omission errors types which referred to the highest
percentages as many as 56 % and the lowest percentage occurred on addition errors
as many as 3,4 %.Based on the fact, it was found that the most dumb students’
grammatical errors were caused by an interference of the first language brought to
their language transfer into English. It was summarized that they made all error types
of grammatical errors and more than one error type appeared in every sentence made
by dumb students. Consequently, it referred to complex errors, which influenced the
pattern of grammatical errors made by dumb students was unstable. | en_US |
