Abstract

This paper is the result of research conducted in the classrooms at the University of Valencia. The aim of this study is to analyse which grammar is better suited to teach Second Language Acquisition: deductive or inductive. At the Faculty of Economics we offer a course on Business Spanish. A case study was conducted in this course to study the effectiveness of bringing the classroom materials designed for following a task-based approach. The class was split into two groups in which in one, the grammar was deductive, and in the other, was inductive.  This study lays out a theo retical approach, describes how the materials are designed and what results were obtained. We also compare the results that are meaningful to maximise the acquisition of the knowledge during the learning - teaching process.
