This research is part of an effort to map grammatical errors in students’ writings of English Education Study Program in the academic year 2020/2021. This research was conducted through a mixed method design because the data were analyzed using quantitative percentage and error descriptions. The total subjects of this study were 53 students taking paragraph writing courses. The object of research was grammatical errors in the student paragraphs. The data were collected through the collection of student paragraphs obtained from the end of semester tests.

Run-on errors were found in 90 (29.12%) sentences; Fragment errors were found in 62 sentences (20.06%); S-V agreement errors were found in 50 (16.18%) sentences; word form errors were found in 40 (12.94%) sentences; number agreement errors were found in 33 (10.68%) sentences; subordinate conjunction errors were found in 12 (3.88%) sentence; parallelism errors were found in 11 (3.56%) sentences; diction errors were found in 10 (3.24%) sentences; and the passive error was found 1 (0.32%) sentence.
