Abstract

 This paper makes an effort to analyze the morphosyntax and spelling error in the written compositions of PEGAFI Senior High School students. The aim of the study is to identify and analyze logical explanation for the numerous morphosyntactic and spelling errors that the students produced. To obtain accurate results, the researchers collected data using copies of SHS students in grade 11. Additionally, the researchers used the descriptive analytical approach and Corder's errors analysis theory to identify and study the various types of errors and mistakes made in writing (EA). The results indicate that interlingual errors are most made numerous by SHS students at the level of selection (morphological and grammatical errors) and of syntax (misordering of words). The study offers some recommendations for teaching methods and strategies that teachers can use to help SHS students become better writers.
