THE GRAMMATICAL INTERFERENCES IN STUDENTS‟ FIRST DRAFT ENGLISH (L2) 1 NARRATIVE ESSAYS
Abstract
Each language has their own rules for their grammar to communicate that make them different from other languages. So, when language learners started to learn a new language as their second language, it is sure that interference will occur in their second language learning. Based on the students‟ first draft English narrative essay, this study found common grammatical interferences of students‟ first language (L1) in their second language (L2) writing. This study was aimed to investigate what are the grammatical interferences that are mostly found in students‟ first draft English (L2) narrative essay. The participants of the study were nineteen students who were drawn from one class of Narrative and Descriptive Writing courses in Satya Wacana Christian University. Qualitative analysis was conducted to explore the finding in detail. The data were analyzed based on Berthold‟s framework (1997) and Cowan‟s framework (2008) that had been decided before. The study found that sentence level was the grammatical interferences that were mostly found in the student‟s narrative essay because the students still used Indonesian dative movement pattern in English sentence. Next to it, singular/plural and preposition was the second and the third biggest areas influenced by the grammatical interferences because in students Indonesia language the pattern of plural/singular and preposition are different from English pattern. This study‟s findings will contribute to a better suggestion in teaching writing narrative text in teaching and learning process.
