The role of WeQuests in learning a foreign/second language

 

 

 

 

A Web Quest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from  resources on the internet, optionally supplemented withvideoconferencing.                                                                           

A Web quest provides a means of supplying to students a topic-oriented hotlist of Web sites as a starting point for gathering information or ideas. Usually Web quests are group activities with an end goal of creating a document that collects. Web quests tend to be student-oriented and collaborative, with students engaged in constructivist activities resulting in shared learning experiences and new knowledge.

 

The web quest is important and useful for students. Students who is using web quest, they think together and they compare the information.web quest In the process, the students learn how to search effectively, evaluate what they find, and write it. They can search in group or individual about the information that they need in the web quest.the teacher is to help the students to understand the topic and to give them a clear idea and information about the topics. In web quest, the students can explore the materials, activities, information and ideas that they need it and search about it.

In our school , they don't use web quest too much because no internet available or technology.

      In my opinion, the web Quest, it provides information and a specific ideas  of the topics that the students need it in their study or in their life.
