(II) Dr. Sintha Tresnadewi M.Pd. Keywords Grammatical Error Gender Mother Tongues Writing Speaking This study explored grammatical errors in Written and Spoken English made by male and female EFL students from different mother tongues (Makassarese Bugish and Javanese). Grammatical errors referred to deviations from standard grammar rules including sentence structure word usage tenses articles and other grammatical elements while examining errors in written and spoken English to understand how they differed in various aspects. This study was conducted as a qualitative descriptive case study focusing on male and female EFL students from different mother tongue backgrounds. The participants included three male students and three female students with different mother tongues (Bugish Makassarese and Javanese) with the purpose to reveal how gender and mother tongue influenced grammatical errors in writing and speaking English. The research design included writing and speaking tasks to know the grammatical errors made by male and female. Students were given a writing task to compose a 200-word essay and a speaking task to deliver a three-minute presentation on the same topic The Benefits of Using Cell Phones rdquo . Errors were categorized using the surface strategy taxonomy from Dulay et al. (1982) The categories were omission addition Mis-formation and Mis-ordering. The analysis showed that Bugish male student had the highest frequency of omission in writing while Makassarese male student made the fewest omission errors. Both male and female students displayed same patterns in addition errors with Bugish and Makassarese female students making the most errors. Ms-formation errors were most frequently made by Bugish male student and Makassarese female student and Mis-ordering errors were common among Bugish male student and Makassarese female student. In the speaking tasks omission errors were consistently high across all students. Addition errors were most frequent among Makassarese female student and Javanese female student. MMs-formation errors were mostly made by Bugish (male) student and Makassarese male student while Mis-ordering errors were evenly distributed among male students with Makassarese and Javanese female students showing higher levels of these errors. The study concluded that mother tongue significantly influenced the types of grammatical errors made by female and male EFL students. For future research to identify these errors educators will be able to develop targeted teaching strategies to improve grammatical accuracy in both written and spoken English among students from different mother tongues. For teachers the study provided insights into common grammatical errors allowing them to develop more effective teaching strategies and materials. For researchers the study contributed to the literature on grammatical errors in EFL students made by male and female offering valuable data for further research. The findings will also help curriculum developers create more inclusive and effective educational programs that addressed the specific needs of students from different mother tongues.
