Abstract

This study was conducted to find out the types of lexical errors that high and low proficiency learners produced in their writing, and find the differences and similarities from the production of the two groups. To answer the research questions, the writers used the theory by James (2013) about lexical error classification. This study was a qualitative study. The sources of the data of this study were the lexical errors from 32 writing drafts. The writers divided the students into two groups: eight students from high proficiency level and eight students from low proficiency level. The findings showed that the high proficiency learners produced five types of formal errors and four types of semantic errors, while the low proficiency learners produced two types of formal errors and six types of semantic errors. In conclusion, the high and the low proficiency learners’ lexical error productions are due to the learners’ lack of knowledge in sense relation and collocation, and the learners’ wrong terms of near-synonyms production.Keywords: lexical errors, high proficiency learners, low proficiency learners, error analysis

Abstract

This qualitative study aimed to know the teacher’s and the students’ perspectives regarding the reading materials in the Extensive Reading and Writing (ERW) class. The study used the theory of Extensive Reading Principles by Day and Bamford (2002). The study also tried to draw the similarities and differences between their perspectives. The subjects of the research were 10 students and 1 teacher from ERW class in the English Department of Petra Christian University, Surabaya. Semi structured interviews were used to explore their perspectives toward the reading materials of ER. The findings showed that the teacher and the students had various perspectives regarding the reading materials in ERW class. In conclusion, the provision of reading material was not really in line with the ER principles because of the unique nature of ERW class.
