ANALISIS KESALAHAN PENGGUNAAN EJAAN PADA TEKS ESAI MAHASISWA DIPLOMA 3 PERPAJAKAN SEMESTER 5 UNIVERSITAS RIAU

Abstract

His study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the use of spelling in essays written by
Diploma 3 Taxation students who are in their 5th semester at the University of Riau.
The importance of correct spelling cannot be underestimated, as spelling errors can
significantly affect the reader's understanding of the content and intent of the text. This
study uses a qualitative method with a document analysis approach, in which the essays
produced by the students serve as the primary objects of analysis. Data collection was
carried out by randomly selecting 44 essays from students in the 5th semester. The
results of the analysis indicate various types of spelling errors frequently made by
students, including errors in the use of capital letters, prefixes, suffixes, confixes, and
commas that do not conform to the rules of the Enhanced Spelling System Edition 5
(EYD 5). This research is expected to make a significant contribution to efforts to
improve students' writing skills. By increasing awareness of the importance of correct
spelling, it is hoped that students will better understand and apply the appropriate
writing rules, thereby producing written works that are not only good in terms of
content but also in terms of writing technique.
