Har, Amelia Leong Chiew
Advances in Language and Literary Studies, v2 n2 p129-139 Jul 2011
It is undeniable that learning the articles "a," "an," and "the" presents serious difficulties to the learners and teachers alike in the English Language classrooms, but previous studies done on the teaching of articles have shown that there are many techniques of teaching the articles that can be employed in the English Language classrooms. Besides the techniques suggested by the linguists and researchers, the paper also presents strategies on teaching the articles from various sources like grammar books and research journals in the area. Examples of the teaching strategies are given in relation to the strategies suggested.
