Abstract


Grammar is one of the important components that must be mastered by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) when they want to learn English. It is undeniable that many students think that grammar is quite difficult to learn. In an English Language Education Program at a private university in Central Java, Indonesia, there are many students who failed in their Basic Grammar classes. Therefore, this study aims to find out the EFL students’ attributions or reasons for their failure in their Basic Grammar class. The data were gathered through a semi-structured interview with five EFL students who failed in their Basic Grammar class in an English Language Education Program at a private university in Central Java, Indonesia. My preliminary results indicate some factors that cause them to fail in their Basic Grammar classes, such as the lack of knowledge, internet connection, students’ factors.
