This research is part of an effort to map grammatical errors in students’ writings of English Education Study Program in the academic year 2020/2021. This research was conducted through a mixed method design because the data were analyzed using quantitative percentage and error descriptions.

Run-on errors were found in 90 (29.12%) sentences; Fragment errors were found in 62 sentences (20.06%); S-V agreement errors were found in 50 (16.18%) sentences; word form errors were found in 40 (12.94%) sentences; number agreement errors were found in 33 (10.68%) sentences; subordinate conjunction errors were found in 12 (3.88%) sentence; parallelism errors were found in 11 (3.56%) sentences; diction errors were found in 10 (3.24%) sentences; and the passive error was found 1 (0.32%) sentence.
