Abstract: In learning English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) of the globe, Indonesian learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) need great effort and seriousness to cope with certain linguistic and incultural problems. If beginning EFL learners make errors in making sentences using certain words, it is not surprising but it is when they are made by quite advanced learn- ers. However, errors should be respected and accepted as signs of learning as no learners create errors on purpose. Teachers should realize that errors are committed due to some factors that are beyond learners’ awareness linguistically as well as culturally. This paper is intended to describe some linguistic and incultural errors made by advanced EFL learners and discuss some possible causes and offer ways to help them improve their competence and performance in the English language. The data used in this study are in forms of (a) sentences made by 30 Mag- ister program students using certain words given, and (b) answers they provide based on Yes/ No questions and Tag-questions asked. The study reveals that to make correct sentences using certain words and correct answers to certain questions in English EFL learners are required to build some linguistic, pragmatic, and intercultural comptence both in Indonesian and English.Keywords: linguistic, pragmatic, and intercultural errors and competence,Abstrak: Dalam belajar bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa perantara antar bangsa di dunia para siswa Indonesia yang belajar bahasa Inggris sbagai bahasa asng memerlukan usaha yang sung- guh-sungguh untuk memahami dan menguasai unsur-unsur kebahasaan dan kebudayaan tert- entu. Jika pembelajar pemula bahasa Inggris Indonesia membuat kesalahan dalam membuat kalimat dengan menggunakan kata-kata tertentu, itu mungkin dianggap wajar tetapi hal tersebut dianggap kurang wajar bila kesalahan seperti itu dibuat oleh pembelajar yang sudah dikategori- kan kelas advanced. Namun demikian, kesalahan apapun yang dibuat pembelajar hendaknya dihargai dan diterima sebagai tanda bahwa mereka sedang belajar karena tidak ada pembelajar yang sengaja membuat kesalahan apabila mereka sudah mengetahui mana yang benar. Para guru harus menyadari bahwa kesalahan terjadi karena beberapa faktor di luar pemahaman pem- belajar baik secara kebahasaan maupun budaya. Tulisan ini mencoba mendeskripsikan beber- apa unsur kebahasaan dan budaya yang dibuat oleh pembelajar bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing, membahas beberapa penyebabnya, dan menawarkan beberapa usaha untuk membantu mereka memperbaiki pengetahuan dan kemampuan berbahasa Inggris mereka. Data penelitian ini berupa (a) sejumlah kalimat yang dibuat oleh 30 orang pembelajar S2 bahasa Inggris, dan(b) kalimat jawaban yang mereka buat berdasarkan pertanyaan Yes/No Question dan Tag-Ques- tion. Hasil studi ini menyatakan bahwa untuk dapat membuat kalimat yang benar dan jawaban dari pertanyaan Yes/No Question dan Tag-Question para pembelajar bahasa Inggris Indonesia dituntut untuk memiliki latarbelakang pengetahuan tentang ilmu bahasa, pragmatik, dan bu- daya sendiri maupun budaya bangsa yang berbahasa Inggris.Kata-kata Kunci: kesalahan dan kemampuan linguistik, pragmatik, interkultural

The result showed that the students’ argumentative achievements reached the Meeting Standard score with 8.5 as the highest score and 6 as the lowest score. Errors in Grammar, Lexicon, Semantics, Syntax, and Mechanics as well as in Omission, Addition, Misformation, and Misorder were found, which were caused by one or two of the following factors: overgeneralization, first language interference, and/or carelessness. Among those errors,  errors on grammar and omission were mostly found. Some suggested ways to eliminate errors include doing remedial teaching focussing on teaching material covering the use of punctuation, conjunction, subordinate conjunction, and a brief theory about translation. Keywords: argumentative essay, error analysis, linguistic category taxonomy, surface strategy taxonomy Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui (1) pencapaian kemampuan mahasiswa semester 5 Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Universitas Sriwijaya dalam menulis esei argumenatative, (2) jenis kesalahan yang dibuat oleh mereka, (3) kemungkinan penyebab terjadinya kesalahan tersebut, (4) jenis kesalahan yang paling banyak terjadi, dan (5) beberapa cara yang mungkin dapat diterapkan untuk mengurangi terjadinya kesalahan-kesalhan tersebut.

Abstract

Abstract: The aims of this study were to find out whether or not there were significant correlations among each aspect of parents’ economic status, students’ reading motivation, and reading achievement. In addition, the contributions of parents’ economic status and reading motivation to reading achievement were also investigated. One hundred twenty students were selected as the sample by using a purposive sampling technique. The data were collected by using a parents’ socioeconomic questionnaire, a reading motivation questionnaire, and a reading test. Pearson product moment correlation and multiple regression analyses were applied to analyze the data. The correlation analysis showed that the aspects of parents’ economic status: parental income (r=.546), property (r=.294), and facilities at home (r=.535) were significantly correlated with reading achievement. However, only parental income (29.8%) and facilities at home (4.8%) gave significant contribution to reading achievement. Significant correlations also existed between parental income (r=.394); property (r=.250); facilities at home (r=.343), and reading motivation, but only parental income gave significant contribution (15.5%). All the aspects of students’ reading motivation were also significantly correlated with reading achievement, but only self-efficacy (18.15%) and competition (7.1%) that contributed significantly. The results of this study confirm the important role of parents’ economic status in their children’s reading motivation and reading achievement. Key words:parents’ economic status, students’ reading motivation, students’ reading achievement
