This research aimed to identify and analyze the types of morphological and sentence-level errors in the short paragraph writings of third-semester English Education students at UIN Raden Intan Lampung. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the study utilized documentation for data collection, with purposive sampling selecting a class with a high frequency of errors. The data, consisting of student-written paragraphs, were analyzed using Surface Strategy Taxonomy (omission, addition, misformation, misordering) and morphological error theory (affixation, internal change, suppletion). The findings revealed that misformation was the most prevalent error (50.60%), followed by omission (32.31%), addition (11.58%), and misordering (5.48%). Morphologically, errors in affixation were the most common. These errors predominantly stem from first language (Indonesian) interference and an incomplete understanding of English grammatical rules.
