English Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the difference between the Pedagogical grammar (Action Pack 12) and Theoretical grammar (Chomsky's Minimalist Program).

The study attempted to portray the characteristics of the Pedagogical and Theoretical grammars through a sample textbook of the first type.

In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher chose all the new structures in Action Pack 12 as the data to make the comparison with the representation of same structures in the Minimalist Program.

The comparison shows that the structures in Action Pack 12 are represented in the different ways from those in the Minimalist Program.

These differences result from the differences in the target audience, goals, and methodology.

Foreign language textbook author may, however, benefit from some aspects of how theories are developed and how they change depending on the Generative Grammar theories development and how these theories started from and how they become in the recent years Minimalist Program
