CHAPTER IV. FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

B. Discussion

number of Intralingual Errors made by students were 41 items or 87.23%.

Intralingual Error is characterized by overgeneralization in the use of an inaccurate adjective phrase and incorrect use of the structure in the adjective phrase writing. In this case, the students did not understand the use of adjective phrases in English text.

The number of interlingual errors in the order ranks lowest. The number of interlingual errors made by students was 6 items or 12.76%. As we know that interlingual errors occur because of the influence of the mother tongue on the target language being learned. In this case, the students made these mistakes because they did not understand the rules for using adjective phrases in English, it is mean that the students' knowledge in using adjective phrases was still influenced by their mother tongue.

Based on the type of adjective phrase, the highest difficulty the students made was an attributive adjective. The number of attributive mistakes made by students was 35 items or 74.46%. Meanwhile, the type of difficulty of the adjective phrase that the students made the lowest was a predicative adjective. The number of prediction mistakes made by students was 12 items or 25.53%.

2. The results of the questionnaire show that there are factors that cause students to have difficulty writing adjective phrases in writing. Several aspects such as grammatical weakness, knowledge and understanding, lack of training, and educational background.

B. Suggestions

Based on the results and discussion of the research, the authors would like to provide some suggestions as follows:

1. Suggestion for teachers

a. English teachers can use student difficulties as a guide for evaluating student progress in learning English. For example, teachers can pay special attention to common mistakes students make in target language performance, especially in writing. To minimize students' writing errors, the teacher can discuss mistakes in class, for example, the teacher gives several sentences that contain several errors, then asks them to analyze the sentence - whether it is wrong or correct, after that discuss the answers, or provide additional homework, through this students can identify their weaknesses and take them more seriously in writing questions.

b. To improve students' ability to use adjective phrases, the teacher can ask students to practice regularly on adjective phrases. This can be done by providing them with daily chore activities or experiences. Often, the teacher may point out the errors of careful analysis in class with students, for example, even when a colleague is at work. So that students can share with their friends and be

more active in understanding their difficulties in using adjective phrases.

2. Suggestions for students

Writing is one of the materials in learning English, especially in the use of adjective phrases. Students should learn and practice writing more to develop their writing skills and students should also do exercises and homework given by the teacher. They must be brave enough to ask questions that their current teacher does not understand the teacher's explanation.

3. Suggestions for Other Researchers

Other researchers should conduct further research with the same object but different perspectives from other phrases because students often still face difficulties in using phrases in their writing.
