   PHRASES
   By Aini & Wenwei




                                         1
THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY

 There is no articles in Chinese
 It’s difficult for Chinese students to use English
 articles accurately



 What factors cause the misuse of articles?
 Is there any relationship between the use of
 articles and students’ English proficiencies?




                                                       2
PREVIOUS STUDIES
Huebner (1983) developed a system to analyze the semantic
functions of articles used by English learners
Huebner analyzes the semantic function of noun phrases in
terms of two features:


[+/- hearer knowledge] ([+HK])
[+/- specific referent] ([+SR])




                                                            3
FOUR NP CATEGORIES


       2. [+SR]   1. [-SR]
          [+HK]      [+HK]

       3. [+SR]   4.[-SR]
          [-HK]     [-HK]




                             4

RESEARCH DESIGN
 This study collected the scores of using English articles
  from 85 non-English major junior students from Shaanxi
  Normal University.
 This test ( Master, 1994 & Ekiert, 2004) is made up of two
  parts: using appropriate articles in separated sentences
  and passages
 Articles in this test are separated into indefinite article,
  definite article and zero article ( a/an are regarded as the
  same in this test)
 The data from this test is analyzed by SPSS software




                                                                 7
3 STEPS TO ANALYZE
DATA
 Step 1: Descriptive Statistical Analysis for the
  relationship between College English Test, Band 4 and the
  use of articles
 Step 2: Pearson Correlation Coefficient for the correlativity
  between College English Test, Band 4 and the use of
  articles
 Step 3: Variance for the relationship between the types of
  articles and the accuracies of using articles




                                                                  8
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION



             Grade-Distribution Chart
RESEARCH
 Questions 1
      Does accuracy correlates with English
      proficiency?
                             Correlation Coefficent
                                      = 416


                                   There is
                                correlation
                            between Accuracy and
                             English Proficiency.
Questions 2
.   Which article does learners use with
    a highest accuracy rate?
Questions 3
             What’s the reason that learners use
             articles by error.

 Overgeneralization

 Being difficulty in distinguishing the use of

   indefinite article from zero article

 Paying little attention to zero   article
CONCLUSION
  Three factors influence variation in interlanguage:
    the communicative function of a feature, the
    linguistic environment of that feature, and social
    factors.



  Paying more attention to the use and learning of
    articles.
