Abstract

This research aimed to find out the syntax errors in English paragraphs written by tertiary English students and the factors causing the errors. This research employed an explanatory qualitative design. Fourth semester students from an English department of IAIN Curup were engaged as the subjects of this research. Positivism-governed document analyses and constructivism-based interviews were conducted to solicit the data as desirable. The document analyses endorsing a ready-to-use construct proposed by Dulay, Burt, Krashen, revealed that there were four kinds of errors students made, namely omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. Those types of errors were exhibited in a proximate composition which meant that the students had compatible difficulties in terms of the four kinds of errors. As uncovered from students’ writing works, the four kinds of errors were found in the domains of words, phrases, and clauses. Subsequently, the interviews demonstrated that the factors of syntax errors extended to students’ mother tongue interference. Anchored in the data gained, this research discussed the data in the perspective of interlanguage theory, were offered to help lower the factors causing English syntax errors in writing skill.
