Abstract

In the English GBPP for SLTP 1994, it is stated that “Degree of Comparison of Adjectives and Adverbs” is one of the sub-topics of English grammatical materials that the third year students should master. Language plays an important role in human lives as it is especially used as a means of communication among people. The English language, for example, as an International language has been learnt by the Indonesian students since they are in the Elementary School; but still the third year students of SLTP find difficulty in using the right form of Degree of Comparison. It is the fact that Indonesian and English grammars are quite different. Both similarities and differences may be equally troublesome in learning another language. To know whether or not the students find difficulty in using the right form or Degree of Comparison, the writer conducted a research on it at SLTP Kristen Bethel Surabaya. The subjects of this research were the third year students since they have learnt the Degree of Comparison of adjectives and adverbs in CAWU I and CAWU III. Having identified, classified, counted, and analyzed the errors encountered, the writer found out that major errors made by the students were substitution errors (42,72%), followed by addition errors (29.67%) and omission errors (27.61%). Based on the findings, the writer found that there were four possible causes underlying the errors. They were ignorance of rules restriction, interlanguage interference, over generalization, and incomplete application of rules. At the end of this study, the writer concluded that the students still found difficulty in using the right form of Degree of Comparison; therefore, she hoped that a further study on English Degree of Comparison needs to be conducted to reflect much more real problems encountered by the students in learning Degree of Comparison.
