Abstract

Most university students in Indonesia have been learning English for more than ten years, but still find it difficult to express ideas in English properly. This study discusses interlanguage produced by an Indonesian adult learner who is studying English at a state university. The authors analysed samples of her English expressions based on certain processes in error analysis. The writers reveal that the student gets into difficulties in producing correct grammatical features related to past tenses, plural forms, and articles ‘the’ and ‘a’. The learner’s errors might be due to the interference of L1, intralingual factors, negative transfers of training, strategies of L2 learning, and communication strategies. Apart from involving more participants for more variety of data, it is recommended that future researchers can investigate the effect of errors on learners when they are in the process of mastering English. In doing so, the researchers will be more able to provide comprehensive insights into the significant role of error analysis in English language teaching and learning.
