- Abstract
The mastery of language skills is necessary for German language learners, especially those who study at the State University of Surabaya. This language competency can be mastered through classes and examination tests, such as international and/or local standard tests or certain course final exams as a requirement to become a Bachelor of Education. One of those examination tests is taking the German Language Proficiency Test or Uji Kompetensi Bahasa Jerman (UKBJ). This test also becomes an indicator to determine the quality of college students’ proficiency in the German language. There are some subtests in the UKBJ, such as Leseverstehen, Hören, Sprachbausteine, Schreiben, and Sprechen. The researchers’ observation shows that there is a difficulty and language error that the students make in Schreiben or writing test. This article aims to describe (1) language error and the language error analysis, (2) what kind of grammatical error that has been found in the Schreiben subtest result. The findings indicate that there are 9 categories of grammatical error from 20 test-takers. Mostly, their errors were categorized into Unterkompetenzfehler level.
