The Role of the Webquest in Learning Forign / Second Language

Bernie Dodge defined the webquest as " an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet, optionally supplemented with videoconferencing. "

This website is considered as a guide to the students to guide them how to perform any plan with some resources provided. Webquest contains activates and tasks which helps the students to be independent.

Teachers may use the webquest for cooperative purposes. As the webquest that we worked on it as groups, we provides a task with a chosen topic about how to plan a graduation party then we ask the students to find out more about the rolles by surfing the sources that we have provided on the webquest, to come up with the information’s needed. It will enable the students to discover and knowledge about the topic. And the teacher will act as councillor, faciliator and guide to the students. However, the class invironment should have all qualities of technology like internet and computers.

As future English teacher, I will provide my students with this tool because it will encourage them to work in groups.
