This study aimed at analyzing interference error caused by first language interference made by English Foreign Language (EFL) students of IAIN Salatiga in their English composition. The objectives are to find out type of interference, frequency of each type, the most dominant type, and the factors contribute to language interference in EFL students' composition. This is a descriptive-qualitative research. The data were taken through elicitation technique and documentation, and then analyzed by using theory of language interference. The findings of this study showed that EFL students made two types of interference; lexical interference and syntactical interference. Lexical interference fell into five categories: loanwords, literal translation at level of word, literal translation of L1 preposition, literal translation of L1 adverb of manner, and literal translation of L1 comparative degree of adjective. Syntactical interference also fell into five categories: the use of L1 structure in target language, the use of L1 structure in English noun phrase, literal translation in negation of verbal sentence, literal translation in negation of nominal sentence, and literal translation in nominal sentence of affirmative form.
