The wrong collocation is caused by several factors. According to Deveci (2004) one of the factors is the interference of mother tongue that is Bahasa Indonesia for example the use of use motorcycle while it should be ride motorcycle. In Bahasa Indonesia people tend to say menggunakan (use) sepeda motor (motorcycle). In English, it can be used ride motor cycle for Menggunakan sepeda motor . Another example is the use of national song while it should be national anthem.
