Abstract

This study aims to analyze the ability of second-year students in identifying parts of speech and the most frequent mistakes made by students in the English Education Program, Universitas Negeri Padang. This research is descriptive quantitative research. The population in this study were all students of the English Education Study Program for the 2020 academic year, which consisted of five classes with a total of 137 students. Researchers took 20% of the total population using a random sampling technique with a sample of 27 students. The results of this study indicate that students are still confused in identifying parts of speech because some words can function in different parts of speech. Students tend to be careless in identifying parts of speech and only remember one word that plays a role in the function of parts of speech. Therefore, students' ability in identifying parts of speech is included in the medium category. In other words, the ability to identify parts of speech has not been maximized. Thus, it can be seen that the average achievement of all components of a part of speech is 64.3, which can be categorized as sufficient. In addition, the most common mistakes made by students are in adjectives and nouns. It requires serious attention from the lecturers and from the students themselves.
