In writing process, we need to engage the knowledge on grammar, lexicon, syntax, morphology and so on. However, in writing, the learners tend to do the errors such as in grammatical area although they have been studying it. This study aimed to find what types of errors and the most as well as the least frequency of errors found in English Outing Student’s Report of STAIN Kediri in academic year 2016/2017.
