Abstract

NONGENERIC USE of the English DEFINITE ARTICLE is one of the problematic areas of foreign language learning for Persian speakers. In this study the subjects were placed in different proficiency groups based on the results of a Cambridge First Certificate in English test. The participants responded to an instrument which consisted of 91 sentences by inserting the DEFINITE ARTICLE wherever needed. The results show that out of four NONGENERIC USEs of the DEFINITE ARTICLE, Cultural use continues to be a problem for all language proficiency groups irrespective of the language proficiency. Structural use and Textual use are the next problematic areas. Finally, Situational use is the least problematic area. It is implied here that learners first learn the situational and textual uses and then the structural and cultural uses. The results also confirm overuse of the cultural category by all groups with steady decrease along with proficiency improvement. Finally, missing the obligatory use of the article does not seem to stop with proficiency improvement. Pedagogically these findings could be incorporated into syllabuses.
