The data were mainly collected through assigment on narrative written text and itervies and were analyzed descriptively using Dulay’lingistics taxonomy (1982) and  Fink’ category (2005). The result of  data analysis revealed that the students committed errors in  their narrrative writing, namely article, possessive case, omission of – ed, regularization by adding –ed, simple present tense used in place of simple past tense, omission of –be, pluralization, pronoun, preposition, omission of main verb, subject verb agreement, word order, diction, spelling, passive form, adverb, conjunction, double marking, and modals. The cause of error was interference, lack of vocabularies, and motivation, and teacher’ ability/qualification.
