Introduction
This is a internet-based project showing you how to develop a Webquest of your own. The content is based on Dudeney & Hockly's (2007) How to Teach English with Technology (Ch4).
You will learn to develop your own webquest lesson by using createwebquest.com. In this webquest, you will learn about the elements of webquest and develop a webquest on your own with your group members.
Grade Level: College/University
Major: Applied English
Curriculum content: TELL
Level: B2-C1
Task
You and your group members will work together to develop a Webquest lesson following the structure discussed in class (Introduction, Task, Process, Evaluation, Conclusion)
For more information, you can also refer to the following Youtube video:
Process
1. Decide on a targeted population (e.g., elementary school students, junior high school students, adult learners, etc.) & their English level (e.g., beginner; intermediate; high-intermediate, etc.)
2. Decide on a topic you'd like to teach (please make sure the lesson you've developed is related to language learning). It could be about a film/movie; a book; a speaking activity, a reading activity, etc. (see the following URLs for examples.)
3. Follow the Webquest structure we've talked about in class.
A. Introduction: what is the overall theme of the web quest
B. Task: explain clearly and precisely what the targeted learners need to do as they work their way through the webquest.
C. Process: describe the processes that the targeted learners need to work on to complete the task. The steps should be broken out into clear and detailed steps. Make use of the internet resources you can find on line and incorporate them into your webquest. For each resource you use on line, you will need to evaluate the websites to make sure of its accuracy, currency, content and functionality. In addition, you should give credits to the websites you've used.
D. Evaluation: how will students' work be evaluated? (e.g. peer evaluation? quiz? teacher evaluation? more activities? etc. )
E. Conclusion: (optional)
4. After you have created your Webquest, post your "public URL" in the discussion board on Moodle, so that everyone has access to the web quest you've created.
