Abstract :
Abstract is a crucial part in writing skripsi. It is equivalent as the summary of the whole skripsi. Readers can decide whether or not it is the correct topic they intend to read. Therefore, it should be written correctly as well as clearly. Writing in itself is a difficult skill, writing an abstract in their second language is definitely challenging which most likely will cause errors in the process of writing. This research is aimed to find and describe the errors in writing skripsi abstract, especially in using the mechanics of writing which include: capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. This research applied qualitative descriptive method in analyzing the data which is taken from 22 skripsi abstracts written by English Education Department students and published in 2022. The result showed that the numbers of errors found was quite high. The total number of errors found is 253 errors. The most frequent error committed is punctuation while the less frequent error committed is spelling. Furthermore, the errors found were classified based on surface taxonomy strategy, such as: omission, addition, misinformation, and misordering. Error of addition represents the highest group of error (35.97%) followed by error of misinformation (32.81%), error of omission (30.83%), and lastly error of misordering (0.40%). From the result, it can be seen that students do not completely master the knowledge in using mechanics of writing which the teachers most likely taught the materials implicitly. It suggests that teachers should be more detailed in giving the explanation about it so the students can get a better understanding.
