Laksmi M.Pd M.A Keywords error grammar personal letters English Curriculum 2013 in Indonesia including for Senior High School expects the students to be able to use English for both spoken and written. However some EFL students often make errors in composing a written text because the lack of grammar competence. In order to write well the students need to master grammar competence. Indonesian students often find difficulties in writing because the grammar rules between English and Indonesian language are different. This study aims to analyze the grammatical errors in the personal letters written by the eleventh graders of SMAN 10 Malang. The data was collected by asking the students to write a personal letter for their classmate. Then the result of their writing was classified and analyzed using Surface Strategy Taxonomy proposed by Dulay et al. 1982. Dulay et al. classified errors into four types that is omission errors addition errors misformation errors and misordering errors. The result of the study is reported descriptively. From the result of the study the errors occur as a result ofinterlinguall and intralinguall transfer. In interlinguall transfer some students do direct translation from Indonesian language to English language. In intralinguall transfer the students cannot apply the English grammar rules correctly. In this case the student uses are in every interrogative sentence. After analyzing and classifying the data there are 225 errors that are found in the students writing. The highest frequent error is misformation errors (43.5%). The error of omission occurs 42.2% in the data analysis. The third is error of addition that reaches 11.1%. The least occurring error is error of misordering (3.2%). Based on the result of the study the researcher suggests that English teachers use more suitable method in teaching grammar. One way to apply the rules in English grammar is by asking the students to write journal. By doing so the students have time to apply the grammar rules that have been discussed. Then the teacher discusses the work together with the students.
