Data analysis was carried out by following procedures or steps in analyzing language errors, namely collecting data, identifying and classifying errors, sorting errors, identifying error areas, and correcting errors. The results of this study explain that language errors that are often made by 5th grade students when speaking are incorrectly placing the forms of Ḍamir muttaṣil, fi'il maḍi, isim fā'il, and masdar, as well as errors that occur by accident. The mismatch in word forms in the pronunciation sentence لِتَسْتَعِدْ لِلدِّرَاسَةِ, which should use the masdar form, then becomes اِستِعْدَادًا للدِّرَاسَةِ and in simplifying the sentence مَاعِنْدِي الفلُوس, becomes مُفْلِسٌ, which is the fa'il ism of the word أَفْلَسَ. There are two distinct categories responsible for the occurrence of language errors: internal factors and external factors. Internal factors occur from the speaker's self, and external factors occur due to environmental influences experienced by the speaker. Although these two factors are complex and multidimensional, the teacher's efforts in language justification can still be made and these errors can still be corrected.

Mapping Vocabulary: A corpus-based comparison of Indonesian fourth-grade students' writing and English language textbooks

This study compares the vocabulary used by Indonesian fourth-grade students in their free writing with that taught in their English language textbooks to assist language teachers in developing relevant learning materials for young learners. To achieve this, the researchers employed the corpus linguistic method and analyzed the writings of 369 students from 19 public elementary schools in Malang, East Java, Indonesia, along with five selected English textbooks. The University of Adelaide Text Analysis Tool program, AdTAT, was used to analyze the corpus. The program generated word lists consisting of the top 100 words most frequently used by students and the top 100 words used in English textbooks.
