'Abstract This study attempts to look into how effective an inductive approach is in comparison to the deductive approach in the grammer classes of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The opinions of both the students and tutors concerning the deductive and inductive instructions in their grammar classes are also considered for advanced examination. In this study, the research methods that are applied include; interviews, experimental research and questionnaires, since they contain a mixture of research methods, which assist in collecting adequate data in order to draw a valid conclusion in this research. In the part of experimental, this study looks into the outcomes of both the deductive and inductive instruction in teaching First conditional to 64 Iraqi high school students in two distinct classes. The two clusters of participating learners are subjected to two unlike instructing methods, after which, the effectiveness of the methods are probed and a contrast is made on the achievements from the results obtained from their pre, post and delayed post-tests. In the part of the questionnaire, the opinions of the learners from the different instructional approaches are scrutinized after the treatment. Advanced semi-structured interviews are conducted to four of the English teachers in Iraq, who work for different high schools in order to examine their preference and perceptions on this subject. The results of this research show that the achievement level among the two groups do not provide a figure which is significant statistically; it implies that both methods are effective in teaching the target grammatical structure and also in term of the retention. This is supported by the sequences of comparisons that are done on different features. Additionally, learners have a preference for inductive instructions for the improvement of their instincts, although they deem to be much more appropriate for the deductive instructions, which is a secure perception. Furthermore, tutors have the same opinion that inductive teaching ought to be promoted, so as to benefit learners in the long run. Nonetheless, they have to often use deductive instruction in class because of the rigid system of education examination and curriculum. There is expectation that this research will provide a noteworthy contribution in this field of study on the way to instruct EFL classes in English grammar with much effectiveness and merge both the tutors and learner's belief to the teaching itself in the days to come.'
