| Abstrak Nur Anisa Fitri Ahmad (A12122073). This skripsi entitled “A Study of Suffix -En Usage Comprehension by EFL Students at Tadulako University”. Undergraduate Thesis. English Language Education Study Program, Department of Language and Arts. Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Tadulako University. Under the supervision of Mochtar Marhum, M.Ed., Ph.D and Andi Patmasari, S.Pd., M.Pd. This study investigates the extent of EFL students’ understanding of the suffix -en in English word formation at Tadulako University. The research employs a descriptive quantitative design involving 90 undergraduate students from the English Education Study Program in their second year. Data were collected through a multiple-choice test and a questionnaire focusing on recognition, word formation, and meaning of the suffix -en. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that students experience low difficulty in recognizing the suffix -en, moderate difficulty in understanding its meaning, and high difficulty in word formation using the suffix -en. These results suggest that students’ difficulties lie mainly in productive and semantic aspects rather than in formal recognition, highlighting the need for explicit instruction that emphasizes word formation practice and contextualized meaning analysis.
