INTRODUCTION

A. Research Background

English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) is a study program under

the Faculty of Teachers Training and Education. As a written in PanduanAkademik
(2007), one of the goals to achieve is to generate scholars with the competences of
being professional which is having a wide and deep mastery on English subject.
Celle-Murcia and Larsen-Freeman (1983) put her insight on the skills or
competencies that professional English Teacher is ideally expected to have as
follows:

The first competence is to have a good grasp of English subject matter, including
grammar. Basically grammar becomes the basis for each language. A responsible
English learner, either speaker or writer must be aware of the grammatical
acknowledge and follow the English grammar.

The second competence is to give a good linguistic model. She/he should seemingly
be a native or near-native speaker of English. Expectedly, she/he is able to be an
excellent model for the students by demonstrating to be good fluent control of
English.

The errors in spoken English vary: they can be errors in the area of phonology,
morphology, syntax and semantic. This research is going to focus on morphology
and syntax.

B. Research Problem

There are two problems that stated in this research those are formulated in two
questions as follows:
1. What are the types of syntactic and morphological produce by micro teaching
students of the academic year 2014/2015?

2. What are the possible sources of errors made by micro teaching students of the
academic year 2014/2015?

C. Problem Limitation

This research focuses on two points such as: (1) the types of syntactic and
morphological produce by micro teaching students of the academic year 2013/2014;
and (2) the possible sources of errors made by micro teaching students of the
academic year 2014/2015.

D. Research Objectives

Since this research has two research problems, this research has two research
objectives as well. The first is to figure out the types of syntactic and morphological
produce by micro teaching students of the academic year 2014/2015. The second
objective is to figure out the possible sources of errors made by micro teaching
students of the academic year 2014/2015.

THEORITICAL REVIEW

1. Definition of Syntax

Miller (2002) mentions that syntax has to do with “how word put together to build
phrases, with how phrases are put together to build clauses or bigger phrases, and
with how clauses are put together to build sentences”.

2. Definition of Morphology

Morphology is defined by O’Grady (1997) as “the system of categories in rules

involved word formation and interpretation”.

3. Definition of Error

An Error as stated by Norrish (1983) is “a ’consistent deviation’ because the learners

hasn’t learn something so that he consistently ‘gets it wrong’” (p.7).

4. Definition of Error Analysis

According to Mitchell (2004:38) error analysis is the systematic investigation of

second language learner’s error.

5. Definition of Micro Teaching

Micro Teaching is a compulsory course (KPE 361) in English Language Education

Study Program that aimed at helping the students “to understand the concepts and
 procedure of English language teaching and are able to apply the in real classroom
teaching situation and to evaluate their teaching performance” (paduanakademik,
2007, p.7).

6. Definition of Spoken English

Spoken English should be taken to mean “the variety of English which is generally
use by educated people in the course of ordinary conversation or when writing letters
to intimate friends” (Palmer & Bland ford, 1955,).
