This study investigates a relationship between explicit knowledge of rules and accuracy in article use for advanced Korean learners on a controlled methodology and a detailed classification system of articles. The purpose is to examine if teaching English article rules to L2 learners improves accuracy in their using articles. The participants were seventy-two college and graduate students. The students completed a fill-in-the-article test and a knowledge-of-rules test. The quantitative analyses of the data revealed that there is a significant correlation between rule knowledge and article use in an overall way. Specifically, explicit knowledge of rules and article accuracy were strongly correlated in the usages of ‘no article’ ∅ such as the zero article ∅1 in Type 1, 3, and 4 and the null article ∅2 in Conventional use. These findings suggest that formal instruction of articles is effective for advanced Korean learners. Teaching materials should be developed with a focus on the usages of ‘no article’ ∅. Teaching explicit article rules and providing sufficient exercises with the global context may contribute to improving advanced Korean learners’ accuracy in using articles.
