Analysis of Errors in Recount Text in Writing for Class X

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the errors made by class X MIA students of MAN 1 Kisaran in writing recount texts. The focus of the study is on the forms of linguistic errors, text structure, as well as the cohesion and coherence of paragraphs. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through documentation of student writings and supporting interviews. The data is analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that the most dominant errors lie in the linguistic aspects, particularly in the use of grammar, vocabulary selection, and spelling mistakes. In addition, errors were also found in text structure, such as inaccuracies in the use of orientation, sequence of events, and reorientation. The causes of these errors include a lack of student understanding of the rules of recount texts, limited vocabulary mastery, and low ability to construct effective sentences.
