This is a screenshot from the WebQuest homepage. 

The website seems outdated among various exquisite websites, but it's really easy to carry out if your teaching classroom has the internet and searching engines. Today, I'd like to introduce Webquest briefly to you from three aspects: What is a Webquest; Advantages of using Webquest and principles of a Webquest.
                                        👻


⭐What is a Webquest? 

  • A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web;
  • Bernie Dodge developed this lesson format at San Diego State University in 1995. (Video link about WebQuest by Bernie)
  • A WebQuest usually includes five stages: Task; Process; Resources; Evaluation and conclusion.

⭐Advantages of using Webquest:

  • Motivate students to think for themselves;
  • Utilizing technology. 



⭐Principles of a Webquest: 

  • Classroom-based;
  • Sources are pre-selected;
  • Team-based.

⭐Postscript: 

Task-based learning is always a good choice for language teachers to teach their students. If you are interested in this I highly recommend you have a look at this website where more information about how to use Webquest has been listed!
