Articles being one of the most challenging aspects of the English language can be idiosyncratic in terms of their usage in any type of discourse including academic writing. At the workshop, we will review major functions of articles and their use in formal writing depending on the context. It will allow us to categorize their usage so as to come up with some simple strategies which will enhance your writing and enable you to master articles as an effective tool for making academic texts sound more natural and explicit. Besides, potential error patterns will be considered in order to reduce the recurrence of typical errors. We will practice a lot and, by the end of the workshop, you will be on friendly terms with English articles.
