Abstract Name : Dewi Furtina JH Student No. : 1006102050070 Study Program : English Education Title : Comparison between Male and Female Students of Grammatical Errors in Descriptive writing Keywords: Error Analysis, Grammatical Error, Male and Female Students Writing skill cannot be apart from grammatical knowledge as it is a process on how words are combined to build sentences and how sentences are arranged to construct paragraphs. Meanwhile, males and females are supposed to utilize the language systems in a different way, which is they produce different types of error in different frequencies. Hence, this research is a descriptive study which attempts to describe the differences on the types of grammatical errors and their frequencies committed by male and female students of the second grade of SMA Lab School Banda Aceh. The grammatical areas in concern are subject-verb agreement, verb form, singular/plural form, preposition, conjunction, pronoun, and article. Ten writings of male students and ten writings of female students were chosen randomly. The results proved that female students produced only six of the seven error categories; they did not make any error of pronoun. In contrast, male students committed all the seven types of errors. Also, the total errors of female students, 35 errrors, are less than those of male students, 43 errors. As this study discovered only the grammatical errors found in male and female students’ writings, further research should be widened to investigate other types of errors such as word choice, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc.
