WEBQUEST

"A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet" (Dodge, 1995)




In my opinion a webquest is a site in which teacher post taks and activities using real material and tasks , using webquest students can interact with the internet and it can be uswe for teaching English or another language and it is a good way in which students feel motivated and tecaher encourage the particpation .

2.Webquests  encourage critical thinking skills, including: comparing, classifying, inducing, deducing etc. Students can be guided by the teacher and participated more.
