Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tipe kesalahan yang dibuat oleh siswa dalam teks deskriptif berdasarkan surface strategy taxonomy dan menemukan tipe kesalahan yang paling sering dibuat oleh siswa. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif. Subjek dari penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas XI IPA 1 yang berjumlah 32 siswa. Tugas menulis digunakan sebagai instrumen penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa membuat empat jenis kesalahan berdasarkan surface strategy taxonomy yaitu penambahan, penghilangan, kesalahan bentuk dan kesalahan susunan. Selain itu, kesalahan bentuk adalah tipe kesalahan yang paling sering dibuat oleh siswa. Hal ini menandakan bahwa kemampuan siswa dalam menulis teks deskriptif dalam istilah surface strategy taxonomy butuh ditingkatkan.
