second graders of SDK Santa Maria in Tulungagung. The Indonesian language as
the object of investigation in this study is considered as the second language.
Thus, this study deals with the second language acquisition. In this study, the
writer observes the type of errors on Indonesian misspelled words produced by the
second graders of SDK Santa Maria in Tulungagung. The writer categorizes the
type of errors into three categories; vowel category, consonant category, and
diphthong category. The purpose of this study is to reveal the second graders of
elementary school errors in spelling Indonesian words based on the pattern of
syllables. Thus, in order to solve the problem, the writer relies on some theories of
second language acquisition, error, and error analysis. This is descriptive study
and the source of the data is taken from the respondent?s semi dictation test which
took form written data. Through the analysis, the writer found that most of the
respondents make errors by changing the pattern of the syllables. They change the
pattern of the syllables by adding a consonant between two vowels, adding a
consonant between two consonants, adding a consonant and a vowel between two
consonants, adding a vowel between a consonant and a vowel, adding a vowel at
the end of the word, changing a vowel with a consonant, changing a vowel with
other vowel, changing a consonant with a vowel, and deleting a consonant or a
vowel in front of word, in the middle of word, and at the end of word. Besides, the
respondents make errors by changing the pattern of the syllables; they also make
errors by replacing a consonant with other consonants, and also replacing a vowel
with other vowels that have the same pronunciation. Further, the writer found that
the errors mostly occur in the consonant category. The pattern of the syllables in
this category is more complicated than the two others category (vowel and
diphthong). That is probably the reason why the learners make most errors in the
consonant category. Moreover, the highest percentage of the errors type that
mostly occurs in the consonant category is the errors caused by changing the
pattern "KVK" (type D) into the wrong patterns "KV", "KK", "VK", "KKVK",
and "KVKVK".
