THE EFFECT OF MOTIVATING LEARNING ON ENGLISH LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT

Abstrak

This study aims to analyze the forms and types of language errors in the morphological level contained in a collection of student papers of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program (PBSI) of the Islamic University of Riau semester 4. The focus of the study is directed at the use of affixation, compounding, repetition, and other word formations related to the morphological structure of the Indonesian language. The method used is descriptive qualitative with documentation techniques as a data collection tool. Data were analyzed based on the classification of language errors put forward by linguistic experts, especially in the field of morphology. The results of the study showed that the most dominant morphological errors were the use of affixes that were not in accordance with the context and the formation of derived words that were not in accordance with the rules of Indonesian grammar. The factors causing these errors include students' lack of understanding of morphological structures, the influence of spoken language in scientific writing, and weak editing before the paper was submitted. These findings are expected to be used as evaluation material in language learning and the preparation of scientific papers, especially in improving students' morphological competence.
