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.  \nIntroduction  \nThe English grammar articles ~~ ~~ a, an and the is categorized as the determiners in the English grammar. The English articles system is one of the most commonly used aspects of grammar in the English Language. According to Thornbury (2004, p.8), the articles a and the are the two out of the ten most frequent words in the English Language. The articles system is used widely and frequently; intentionally or unintentionally in all the four skills ~~ ~~ speaking, listening, writing and reading. It plays a crucial role in learning the language as it helps to achieve accuracy and fluency in English language and to achieve communication skills.  \nfor the non- ~~ ~~  ~~ ~~   \n1990, p.461) . Hence, it is important to teach the usage of the articles to the learners.  \nIn Malaysia, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has listed all the three articles ~~ ~~ a, an, the in the Form 1 to Form 5 English Language Kurikulum Bersepadu Sekolah Menengah (KBSM) syllabus. This shows that all the three articles will be taught to the learners from Form 1 to  \nForm 5 English Language classrooms. Table 1 shows the list of articles listed in the Malaysian Secondary School English Language syllabus.  \nTable 1: Curriculum specification for English language (articles) in Forms 1-5  \n\n| Form 1 | A, An, The, Zero Article |\n| --- | --- |\n| Form 2 | A, An, The, Zero Article |\n| Form 3 | A, An, The, Zero Article |\n| Form 4 | A, An, The, Zero Article |\n| Form 5 | A, An, The, Zero Article |\n\nSource: Curriculum Specification for English Language (MOE, 2003)  \nHence, the articles are expected to be taught to the learners in the English Language classrooms. In Malaysia, the articles are taught to the learners mainly by using the English  \nEducation.  \nThornbury (2004, p.41) in How To Teach Grammar shows us how the articles can be possibly taught in the English language classrooms using the deductive approach by involving the learners in the jigsaw activities and group work, utilizing the cloze texts. It is believed that jigsaw activity and group work help to provide more opportunities to the learners to be involved in the real-world communication and training the learners to be more responsible to their own learning. Thornbury (2004, p.43) also reported that this approach of teaching articles is economical as teaching articles can be easily done by directing the learners to the rules of grammar in the handouts prepared by the teachers or referring the learners to the grammar sections of a reference book. Teaching the grammar articles solely by  \nthe teachers is not an easy attempt, henc  \nTeaching grammar  \nPrevious studies on the teaching of grammar have shown that there have been debates on the process of teaching and learning the English grammar. Some argue that grammar should not be taught but it must be acquired by the learners through their daily communication and use of the English Language (Webbe, 1622 in Thornburry, 2004, p.19) . This approach is called  \nInductive Approach and is supported by the Communicative Language Teaching (Richardsand Rogers, 1986) . The proponents of this approach contend that grammar can be acquired (picked up) by the learners naturally w","cbCaiqA5pIT2m02V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqA5pIT2m02V","pdf",806606,11,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## English articles as determiners\n## Malaysian curriculum placement\n## Teaching techniques (deductive approach)\n# Teaching grammar approaches\n## Inductive approach\n## Deductive approach\n# The teaching of articles","[{\"question\":\"Why are the English articles a, an, and the difficult for learners and teachers?\",\"answer\":\"The paper states that learning these articles presents serious difficulties for both learners and teachers in English language classrooms.\"},{\"question\":\"What sources does the paper use to present strategies for teaching articles?\",\"answer\":\"It presents strategies based on sources such as grammar books and research journals, alongside techniques suggested by linguists and researchers.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper describe inductive and deductive approaches to teaching grammar?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that the inductive approach supports acquiring grammar through communication without focusing on rules first, while the deductive approach emphasizes studying grammar rules early to support accurate production and prevent persistent errors.\"}]","Strategies for Teaching the Articles - Teaching Strategies | PDF",1792067881,28]
