Writing Recount Text 1. The Concept of Writing
- Process of Writing
- Recount Text
The purpose of retelling text is to list and describe past experiences by retelling events in the order in which they happened (chronological order). 16 Olla Refilda, Increasing student performance in reading comprehension of retell text through SQ4R strategy, (no publication), 2012 .p. 18Doni Ramli, A Research Journal, An Analysis on Students' Errors in Writing Recount Text (Pontianak: Tanjungpura University, 2013), P. 2.
According to Sue Stubbs, there are several language features when writing recount texts, such as:.
Error Analysis
According to Richard & Schmidt, error analysis had been done because of several purposes, namely: First, it is used to recognize several strategies that the student uses in language learning; trying to identify the cause of the students'. Native speakers are usually able to recognize and correct such "lapses" or errors, which are not the result of a lack of competence, but the result of some kind of temporary breakdown or imperfection in. Furthermore, error is an inconsistent deviation that some sometimes the learner "gets it right" but sometimes wrong.
In addition, a learner makes mistakes when writing or speaking caused by a lack of attention, fatigue, carelessness or other aspects of performance. 24. The researcher argues that the errors can arise as a result of hesitation, slips of the tongue, random ungrammaticalities, lack of attention, memory slips, anxiety of time pressure, etc. These errors, which are not caused by the lack of competence, but the result of certain temporary disturbances or imperfections in the process of producing language, can normally be corrected when both learner and teacher pay attention to them.
Error is a systematic deviation, when a student has not learned something and is consistently wrong. Furthermore, an error is a noticeable deviation from a native speaker's mature grammar, which reflects the intermediate language. Based on the above definitions, the researcher concludes that errors are caused by a lack of knowledge.
Wrong word selection usually occurs when selecting phoneme, morpheme, structure, or vocabulary items. To illustrate, "don't let her wait outside in the rain" where in the rain is misplaced.

Types and Characteristics of The Research
He points out that neither the term sample nor population is familiar for use in case studies. He fully asserts that nowadays many writers graft the qualitative aspect of explicitness in the case study. 27. In this case, the researcher assumes that the case study is a research methodology in order not to generalize the research result.
In both words, the term case study refers to the research method to determine the subject of the research. The subjects of the research are the persons or the case that were chosen for a specific reason without using the term sample. Regarding the above theory, the researcher aims to investigate the writing error in English, which would focus on the use of preposition errors in writing recount text.
