This research used data analyzing technique stated by Gass and Selinker, which was divided into five steps: (1) collecting the data; (2) identifying the data; (3) classifying the data; (4) quantifying the data; (5) analyzing source of error. In describing the data, the researcher used surface strategy taxonomy stated by Dulay. Total errors of each kind of error were 306 errors, and misformation errors has the highest frequency with 132 errors or 43,14%, and the lowest frequency was misordering errors with 17 errors or 5,55%.
