The present study aimed at scrutinizing the effects of processing-based and output-based instruction on learners’ development in comprehension and production of the English present simple tense. The results from the study have contributed to the unending debate on the effects of processing-based instruction (PI) compared to output-based instruction (OI). For the purpose of this study, from among 70 EFL learners in a private language center in Iran, 40 pre-intermediate EFL learners were assigned to the PI group, and 20 participants were assigned to the OI group (n=20). The participants in the PI group received structured processing input activities, while the participants in the OI group received structured output activities. The results of the descriptive and analytical statistics revealed that although participants in the processing instruction group significantly outperformed the participants in the output-based instruction group in terms of their receptive knowledge of the target structure, namely the simple present tense, both types of instruction significantly affected the participants’ productive knowledge of the present simple tense, and the difference between the efficacy of these two types of instruction on participants’ productive knowledge was not significant.
