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 with videoconferencing.WebQuests are based on constructivist learning theory and have been a part of project-based learning and teaching in mainstream education for some time, but they also have a multitude of applications in ESL/EFL, both in ESL/EFL classes that are focused on content/or theme-based learning and in teacher training.
The role of the teacher is to help the students understanding the lesson, and to give them a clear idea about what she wants to teach them. The role of the student, to learn what is webquest and receives new information. Class environment is going to be interesting and students are motivated because this generation love modern discoveries and invention. When student work in a pair or group, they help each other, share information.
I really like webquest. When I heard it at the first time, I was confused but know when I became familiar with, I will use it as a future EFL teacher because it gives me opportunity to share information among my students. Students can see how the teacher will assess her students.
