Abstract
This study investigated syntactic errors existing in the theses written by undergraduate students of the English Education Study Program, Faculty of Teachers Training and Education, University of Sriwijaya. It was aimed at revealing the types and causes of the errors. Twenty-four theses written in 2010 were chosen as the source of the data. The data analysis procedure included error identification, description, classification and explanation. The error classification was conducted using the linguistic and surface strategy taxonomies as proposed by Dulay et al (1982). The results showed that the syntactic errors in the theses included various phrase and cause errors and this errors were in the form of omission, addition, misformation, misordering, and substitution. Furthermore two major causes of the errors were inferred and interpreted as interlingual transfer. Some errors were also interpreted as having multiple sources rather mere single sources. This study finally suggests teachers could conduct instructional remedies with a strong emphasis on the most recurring interlingual and intralingual errors and encourages students to develop a better attitude towards using grammar in academic and scientific while at the same time applying a more risk-taking style in learning
