Abstract

This is a qualitative study aimed at finding the students problems in one of the regions in West Sumatera. This study also sought to find the cause of the students’ problems. This study used a writing test of 23 tenth grades. The participants were purposively selected. The data were analyzed using the content analysis approach. The study identified the lexico-grammatical problems especially in proper noun, pronoun, past tense, adjective, action verbs, time connective, and adverb but the most problems were found in past tense. The causes of students’ problems were lack of motivation, first language interference and translated word by word. The implications of these findings are the teachers should overcome the problems in lexico-grammatical features by doing more repetition and teachers should have adequate knowledge of how to identify the students’ problems, give more exercise to write, use effective media, create a conducive classroom to participate them.
