CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Regarding the inquiry on this present study, this chapter will explore how

the researcher begins this present study. Chapter I is dealing with some prime

information to be discussed. It will include background of study, statement of

problem, purpose of study, significant of study, scope and limitation, and definition

of key term. Each parts will be explained bellow.

1.1 Background of study

Language is one of the pivotal aspect possessed by human in this world. By

using language, people are able to express and share his opinion in a society.

Therefore, Human and society are considered as the fundamental of language

enhancement. According to Wardhaugh (2006), “Language is what the members of

a particular society speak. However, as we will see, speech in almost any society

can take many very different forms, and just what forms we should choose to

discuss when we attempt to describe the language of a society may prove to be a

contentious matter”. It means that both human and society give such a great effect

in constructing their language in communicating with each other. Therefore, both

of which cannot be splinted up in this life.

Following the previous ideas, there are a lot of languages existing in this

(14)

2 those languages, English is the one of which becomes an international language

used by people around world. Due to the fact that English becomes an international

language, it makes a change in this era namely occupation and education. As the

result, every country has implemented a regulation in which English must be learnt

from elementary school to university. It is expected that students becomes

competence generations which can properly speak English. On the other hand, the

students are able to compete in looking for a job after they have finished studying

English.

When the students learn English, all of whom must understand well

concerning four skills which are used to enhance their knowledge in the

teaching-learning processes. According to Harmer (2007), “Four skills are often divided into

two types. Receptive skills is a term used for reading and listening, skills where

meaning is extracted from the discourse. Productive skills is the term for speaking

and writing, skills where students actually have to produce language themselves”.

Consequently, either receptive or productive skill must be obtained by students who

study how to apply English well.

Apart from it, writing is a difficult thing in the process of teaching-learning

in which it is hard to be learnt by students due to some excuses. Students must

imaginatively be able to think how to create sentences by using a correct grammar

in their assignment. Further, students are demanded to master the grammar properly

so that their writing sounds academic. Grammar is a rule used to construct a good

sentence. On the other hand, it is used to connect each word to possess a meaning.

Comprehending the English grammar is difficult for students. It is proved that

(15)

3 make the errors due to some reasons, namely lack of understanding how to use the

grammar in sentences well.

In writing, there are four types of English sentences which have to be

comprehended by students when they want to begin writing the sentence.

According to Oshima, et al. (1998), “There are basically four kinds of sentences in

English: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex”. It means that some

of those types are commonly appeared when students are writing in the class.

Therefore, the students can write in the form of simple, compound, complex and

compound-complex in his sentences.

Simple sentence is the first and basic of sentence structure learnt by the

students. Thus, it is the fundamental of compound, complex and

compound-complex sentences. It means that the students must be able to understand about the

structure of simple sentence in which it helps them develop his sentences in the

proper form. Therefore, it is important for students who want to enhance his writing

due to the fact that simple sentence is the development of each type of sentence.

The explanation above suggests the reason why the researcher is interested

in conducting the research entitled “An Analysis of English Grammatical Errors in

Simple Sentence in Writing II Made by the Fourth Semester Students of English

1.6Definition of Key Terms

To avoid the misunderstanding in terms and contents of the topic in this

study, it is necessary for the researcher to define the key term used in this study.

Errors are the flawed side of learner speech or writing. They are those parts of

conversation of composition that deviate from some selected norm of mature

language performance (Dulay et al: 1982).

Grammar is the knowledge speakers have about the units and rules of their

language (Hyams, et al: 2009).

Simple sentence is one independent clause (Oshima, et al: 1998).
