Before conducting this research, the writer finds some similar researches dealing with the grammatical errors. There are some studies that have been analyzed by other researchers related with grammatical errors and writing skill. The writer uses some of them as the references in this study.

First, the English Education Study Program student of Ahmad Dahlan University, Anis Jati Sunda, in her graduating paper in 2004 writes An Error Analysis on Noun Phrase Construction Made by the Fifth Semester Students of English Education in 2003-2004 Academic Year. In this research, she analyzes the kinds of grammatical errors made by the fifth semester students of English Education Study Program in 2003-2004 academic year. She takes the sample from their translation tasks.

Then, Sulistiyawati, the student of English Education Study Program of Ahmad Dahlan University, in 2004 writes An Error Analysis of the Simple Present Tense Sentences of the Sixth Grade Students of Ngablak Elementary School in the Academic Year of 2004/2005 for her thesis. She discusses the grammatical errors of the simple present tense made by the students and the possible causes of the errors.

From the previous studies, the study of An Analysis of Grammatical Errors in Bilingual Translation Made by the Fourth Semester Students of English Letters Department of Ahmad Dahlan University in 2006-2007 Academic Year needs to be conducted because this study is important to know the grammatical errors made by English Letters Department students and what the possible sources of errors are. This study has the similar topic but it has the different object from the previous one and it has not been researched before.
