AB This dissertation aims at exploring the role that explicit instruction plays in the L2English classroom to determine the effectiveness of this kind of instruction in L1 Spanishstudents in the first year of Bachillerato (Spanish High School). To do so, this dissertationemploys two grammatical structures: Noun-Noun (NN) and Adjective-Noun (AN)constructions. Two different groups took part in developing this project: i) an instructed groupand ii) a non-instructed group. Both groups were exposed to two different tasks: i) a productiontask and ii) an interpretation task. The results obtained in the project indicate that the instructedgroup outperformed the non-instructed group, suggesting that explicit instruction has positiveeffects on students’ performance. The instructed group achieved a higher grammaticality in theproduction of NNs and ANs than the non-instructed group. Therefore, explicit instructionresults effective when teaching L2 English to L1 Spanish students.
