The approach used in this research is synchronic, for research methods researchers use language error analysis methods where in collecting data researchers use techniques, namely document analysis techniques. The data analysis technique uses the modified results according to Tarigan, namely (1) collecting data, (2) identifying and classifying errors, (3) ranking errors, (4) explaining errors, (5) predicting or predicting vulnerable areas or vulnerable language items, and (6) overcoming errors: correcting errors.

From the research analysis of the students' essay results, there were 257 conjunctor errors in the use of conjunctors consisting of 32 errors in coordinative conjunctors and 221 errors in inter-sentence conjunctors.
