Keywords:
errors, IELTS mock test, speakingAbstract
This study aims to identify errors made by IELTS Mock Test candidates during the Speaking skills test. This study is a qualitative research using content analysis method. The researcher analyzed the video recordings of the mock test which was then transcribed. Content analysis was conducted on these transcripts to identify errors on the mock test based on the IELTS Speaking assessment criteria. The researcher analyzed four errors in this study based on IELTS assessment criteria namely fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range, accuracy, and pronunciation. By analyzing these in a systematic manner, this study sought to uncover the types of errors that candidates made during the mock test. The basis of this study is previous research conducted by Iwashita dan Vasquez (2019), which examined the correlation between discourse competence hallmarks and IELTS speaking band descriptor scoring. The previous research was chosen because it is relevant to the purpose of this study in identifying errors made by IELTS speaking mock test candidates on the speaking skills examination. The findings are intended to provide valuable insights for test takers. Test takers can use this information to better understand their weaknesses and focus their preparation efforts on specific areas that need improvement. This research contributes to a broader understanding of language learning and assessment.
