Analysis of Spelling Errors for Eighth Grade Students at Cendekia Bunayya National Secondary School, Kabanjahe

Abstract

An error is an error or deviation from a previously established procedure. A writing error is a mistake that occurs when writing. Errors in writing still occur among students, especially when writing Arabic. This is because there are difficulties experienced by each student. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative research method. This research uses document study and field study research with data collection techniques using interviews, observation and documentation. The aim of this research is to determine the forms of student writing errors, the factors that cause writing errors and the efforts that can be made by educators and students themselves to correct writing errors. Research findings show that writing errors made by students occur due to three factors, firstly because of the students' own abilities, secondly because of a lack of mastery of the rules for writing Arabic letters and thirdly because of a lack of clarity in the pronunciation of the mahkraj letters read by the teacher. With this research, it is hoped that students can improve their abilities and also provide new strategies or methods for teachers.
