The purpose of this study is to research the process of Korean students' acquiring the indefinite article. To research this , we will propose two subjects of study as below. The first subject is that we will examine whether there will be any differences of the acquisition in the indefinite article between gender, male and female. The second subject is that we will examine whether there are any differences of the acquisition by the degree of proficiency at English. The subject of a sample survey was 115 female and 80 male students, total 195 students, who take English courses as a required subject at 'C' university in Gwangju. The necessary data for this study was obtained by the Questionnaires with 19 questions about the indefinite article. The data analyzing method was ANOVA(analysis of variance between groups) through the statistics program SPSS 12.0. As a consequences of this study we found that the side of the acquisition in the indefinite article between gender, male and female is closely related in the data result of the questions and the side of the acquisition by the level of proficiency at English has the meaningful data result of 14 questions at the questionaries.

This study aims to compare the structures of light verb constructions (LVCs) taking decision as the deverbal noun in Malaysian English, British English and American English. A general corpus made up of Internet forum threads from Lowyat.Net, was created to represent Malaysian English while the British National Corpus (BNC) and Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) were used to represent the supervarieties. Light verbs make and take are found to be heading deverbal noun decision. Differences are observed in the use of articles. The frequency of Malaysian English LVCs without article is the highest while supervarieties LVCs prefer indefinite article. The high occurrences of LVCs without articles in Malaysian English can be attributed to the influence from Malaysian substrate languages. Findings also show that descriptive adjective is the most frequently used modifier in all three varieties of English. This suggests the standard LVC structure, comprising a light verb, the indefinite article, and a deverbal noun is no longer rigidly adhered to even among the native speakers of English.

This study investigates why Korean English speakers misunderstand the English article system, which article Korean EFL learners use more accurately in their English writings, and implications for English writing instruction from Korean EFL learners' utterances. There have been numerous studies on the acquisition of English article system by non-native English speakers. Those studies agree that acquiring English articles is difficult for learners of English as a second language. As a result, in this study, many English learners use the definite and indefinite articles a/an. Many wrote articles from their writings, and occasionally, errors of excessive use of definite articles occurred. Through this, this paper investigates how a Korean English learner whose native language has no articles chooses the English article system in speech. It is based on the elicited production of the Korean English learner and suggests some implications for teaching English writing in the classroom. When English instructors teach Korean English learners to write English, it is more important than anything else to practice the correct usage of definite articles or indefinite articles.
