The objectives of this research are to analyze the types of errors
which students made in writing degrees of comparison and to find out the sources
of the errors. This research is a mixed method research, which is a combination of
qualitative and quantitative methods within a single research project. Using
cluster sampling, 25 third grade students of MTs Masmur Pekanbaru were chosen
as the sample of this research. The instruments used to get the data are written
test and semi-structured interviews. Procedure of error analysis was used to
analyze the data, which are process of identification, description, explanation,
and evaluation of errors. Based on the process of identification and description, it
was found that students committed 365 errors that were classified into four types
of error: misformation (60,27%), omission (26,58%), addition (6,85%), and
misordering (6,30%). This study also revealed that the sources of the errors are:
intralingual transfer (61,39%), communication strategy (17,82%), interlingual
transfer (14,85%), and context of learning (5,94%). Therefore, several
recommendations were given to the students such as trying to explore more
learning sources like grammar books, English courses, or the internet to expand
their knowledge of English grammar and to develop their writing ability. In line
with that, it’s important for teachers to adopt innovative methods of teaching with
detailed explanation to encourage students in learning, especially in writing
degrees of comparison, to prevent the errors that occur in the future.
