In descriptive text, learners are required to be able to understand and master the descriptive text, especially for those who have been in eight grade students. Descriptive text is one of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Basic Framework and Curriculum Structure of Junior High School/MTs. According to Siti Nurjanah on her research, the students in Junior High School in Purworejo, she found that many students make errors in grammar, especially in using simple present tense in writing descriptive text.

According to Hedge, error is one part of error that cannot be avoid for language learning. For addition. Heide said that, error as a reflection for learners as media to develop in the language10. Therefore, error is one part of significant that is done by students in the language learning. While Brown claims that, an error is noticeable of grammar from the adult grammar from native speaker and reflection the interlanguage competetition form the learners.

According to brown, he say that the cause of errors divided into four categories, such as: (Brown, 2000, p. Richard in Erdogan, convey that an interlingual error is the result of language transfer which is caused by the learnerAos first language. However, this should not be confused with behavioristic approach of language transfer. Interlingual transfer that is error of influenced by the learners of mother tongue. The different class of error is represented by sentence. (Richards. John. , & Richard Schmidt. , 2002, Jurnal Generasi Tarbiyah : Jurnal Pendidikan Islam Volume 1. Nomor 2.

Over-generalization is where the learnersAo basic experience of certain structure causes the learners creating the deviant structure on the basic of their experience of the other stuctures in the target language. According to Corder, he said that the learners process new language data in their mind and produce rule for its production based on the evidence. Some overgeneralization is signed by. (Corder, 1983, pp. Over-generalization generally involves the creation of one deviant structure in place of two regular . Over-generalization is associated with redundancy reduction, for the example the Aeed marker, in past tense or pas context often appears to carry no meaning, on sentence AeI buy the bag last week. Ignorance of rule restriction is failure to observe the restriction of existing structure. That is the application of rules to context where they do not apply. This error involve a failure to fully develop a The learners fail to produce a correct sentence according to the standard False concept hyphotesized means developmental error which are derived from faulty comprehension of disctinction in the target language.

Some expert give their opinions about error analysis like according to Gass and Selinker said that error analysis provides a broader range of possible explanation than constrative analysis to researchers/teachers to use account for error. (Gass. Susan and Selinker. Larry. Than Ellis and Barkhuizen further explain that error analysis consist a set of procedures for identifying, describing, and explaining learner error. (Ellis. Rod, 2008, p. Meanwhile Erdogan states in his Journal that error analysis appeared in the sixties to demonstrate that learner error were not only from the learner, native language but also they reflected some universal learning strategies. According to him. EA deals with the learners performance in terms of cognitive process theymake use in recognizing or coding from imput they form receive of target language (Erdogan, 2005, p. Present tense indicated the regular activity that happens in this period. Therefore, this tense is used to express a general fact or truth and daily activities.

Unfortunately. L2 learners have also considered among the most difficult to master it involves problem solving in addition to the deployment of strategies to acheve communicative goals. For L2 learners, the difficulty in L2 writing is doubled because they need to transfer ideas from their first language into the target language and organize those ideas into new and different patterns than those in their first language (L. These challenges that learners ecounter in L2 writing call for teachers and researchers to find better ways for instructing writing. Providing feedback is one of the most approproate ways of instruction to help L2 learners succesfully learn a writing skill.

Those 49 errors were classified into these following : Errors of Omission : 21 Errors of Addition : 11 Errors of Misformation : 15 Errors of Misordering : 2 Frequency of StudentsAo Errors From this frequency the researcher made the table of it to know how much of the percentage each types of error by students in their writing descriptive text, so to see the table you can find it in appendix page 89. Not only in the table the researcher also make the percentages of studentsAo errors are converted into a pie The pie chart covers the highest until the lowest rank as follows. From the pie chart, the analysis types of error existed in descriptive text that as written by eight grade students at MTsN 2 Deli Serdang. After analyzing all of the descriptive text, the researcher findings of this study is types of error were omission . error or 42,85%), addition . error or 22,44%), misformation . error or 30,61%), misordering . error or 4,08%). For answer the question result of data analysis showed that the dominant of error in writing descriptive text is Omission. The Questionaire Result In this part, the researcher gives questionnaire to know the sources of studentsAo error. There are fifteen statements in the questionnaire. According to Brown, there are four sources of error, there are interlingual transfer, intralingual transfer, context of learning and communication strategy.
