The role of WeQuests in learning a foreign/second language

WebQuest is an

inquiry-oriented online tool for learning, says workshop expert Bernie Dodge ^{1. This means it is a classroom-based lesson in which most or all of the information that students explore and evaluate comes from the World Wide Web}

　

Students using webquests must use their thinking abilities. They are requiredto compare, contrast, make decisions and recommendations.

In the process of participating in WebQuests, students learn how to search effectively, evaluate what they find, and put it to ue

　

WebQuests can also help students meet standards focused on critical-thinking and analysis skills, and may be particularly useful for social studies and science. By using multimedia, WebQuests also help with multiple intelligence work. Alternative kinds of assessment can be used to judge the results of WebQuest projects. And, obviously, WebQuests are one way to use the Internet in education.

WebQuests are tools, not educational theories, so they can be used in virtually any classroom with appropriate computer access

Using WebQuests in our classrooms can help build a solid foundation that prepares them for the future
