Abstract
Based on the results of language error analysis research, students' ability to apply linguistic rules when writing academics is still lacking. There are patterns and types of errors that are common and always occur when students write their thesis. Therefore, in order to produce quality scientific writing in terms of substance as well as grammar, it is necessary to conduct counseling on the forms of language errors in theses. Thus, the thesis language errors can be minimized. Counseling is carried out in the form of lectures, case studies, focus group discussions, and demonstrations. In particular, the extension method adopts the stages of text learning with slight modifications. The stages in question, namely building context, providing models, finding errors, and evaluating errors. This counseling activity contributed to the improvement of participants' ability to do self-editing of their own writing for the better. In addition, the participants better understood the relationship between linguistic theory and language errors, making it easier for them to analyze and identify language errors. In the end, this counseling activity contributed directly to improving the quality of student scientific writing, especially in terms of writing. This increase in quality is also in line with the increase in the quality of graduates and the learning outcomes of graduates.
