The Role Of Webquest in learning a second language


The term WebQuests has been defined as " inquiry-oriented activates or assignments which engage students through technology and the World Wide Web, most or all information that students work with comes from the web."


vWebQuests can promote reflection, collaboration, cooperation, open minded thinking, multiculturalism, critical thinking, problem solving and an interdisciplinary approach.


vContrary to the traditional ESL /EFL learning , WebQuest is motivating students when they do their work to actively participate in group discussion when exploring an issue. They can develop search skills and critical thinking skills when finding information from resources on the Internet.


vWebQuests allow students to complete authentic projects and use technology to find and present information at the same time.


vWebQuest is designed thematically to enable students to acquire critical thinking skills.
