This research uses a qualitative research type using a content analysis approach. The data of this study were obtained by giving assignments to foreign students in the form of papers (as the main data) and interviews with foreign students from Thailand (as supporting data). The data were analyzed qualitatively with a content analysis approach. The results of this study show that the forms of language errors at the morphological level that are often encountered are basic word formation errors, morph replacement, improper use of affixes, omission of affixes, and reduplication errors.
