“A Study on English Article Learning through Grammar Awareness-raising for High School Students.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 36.4(2010): 267-287. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the acquisition of English articles through grammar awareness-raising affects high school students' English ability. The subjects were 60 high school students, who were divided into two groups, and again into two levels. Article instruction using grammar awareness-raising techniques were given for 5 weeks. The major findings from this research are as follows: 1) The experimental group achieved significantly higher scores in their post test than the control group; 2) The lower-level students showed significantly better results than the ones in the control group; 3) In the qualitative analysis of article use, the experimental group used articles more correctly than the control group; 4) the experimental group, particularly in lower level, significantly improved after learning article usage in context-sensitive discourse with authentic materials.
