Abstract	The implications of the neglecting jawi writing for two decades (1963-1983) have given a great impact on the mastery of jawi texts among Malay citizens in Malaysia. Although various efforts have been made to uplift jawi writing, the efforts are yet not really successful. The issues and problems in mastering this writing skill are still a problem to the public, including teachers and students. The methodology of this study uses the error analysis approach by Corder (1974) to assess the strengths and weaknesses faced by the teachers of Islamic Education (normally known as GPI teachers). The results of the 415 GPI teachers on the nine roman words that need to be spelled out showed that some GPI teachers do not master the jawi writing skills well. There are twelve patterns of spelling mistakes for the word “subjek” (subject), followed by eleven patterns of spelling mistakes for the word "anbia" (prophets), nine patterns of spelling mistakes for the word "air” (water), eight patterns of spelling mistakes for the word "emak” (mother), seven patterns of spelling mistakes for the words "wap” (steam), six patterns of spelling mistakes for the word "kiambang" (duckweed), four patterns of spelling mistakes for the word "seminar" (seminar), three patterns of spelling mistakes for the word "sabun” (soap) and one pattern of spelling mistake for the word "bab” (chapter). The findings clearly show that GPI teachers are still inexperienced to transcribe roman-jawi words accurately. Hence, in this study the error analysis approach was implemented to identify and assist teachers to master the jawi based on jawi writing skills more accurately and effectively.
