As far as English as a second language is learned in a foreign language setting, inappropriate use of linguistic components, in both oral and written, is common at the beginning and intermediate levels. A recent study indicated that inappropriate use of linguistic components was still remarkably found in the undergraduate students’ theses. In response to this, the present study was conducted to investigate the inappropriate use of linguistic components found in the master students’ research proposals to see whether the same phenomena existed. The investigation was not only limited to the types of inappropriate use of linguistic components, but also the causes, i.e., whether they are errors or mistakes. A number of master students’ research proposals were randomly selected as the source of data. Observation and interviews were employed for data collection. Results of the analysis of the data indicated that the inappropriacies covered morphological, lexical, and syntactical. Further, the results indicated that most of the inappropriate use of these linguistic components were due to the results of slip, lack of attention, or carelessness in utilizing the language system (thus, mistakes). Others belonged to errors—a result of lack of knowledge.
