Abstract

The present study is conducted to find the actual acquisition process of the English article system by Chinese EFL learners. The research findings indicate that Chinese EFL learners perform poorly on the use of English articles. There is an obvious difference among learners of different proficiency levels. Learners of low proficiency level show greater instability. It is also found out that Chinese learners are more likely to show errors on omission and confusion of English articles.
