1.1: Establishing the context

I am an English Language instructor at the British Council in Abu Dhabi. The students are made up of a mix of Emirati

students and numerous other Arab nationals as well as around 10 per cent of students from around the world. This particular

group of students are learning English as the first part of a corporate training programme which will enable them to complete

the Etihad cabin crew training in English. I am interested in using the art of web quests in my classroom as in my experience

they enhance learning and promote the acquisition of language by natural and meaningful means.

The classes I teach at The British Council range from Elementary to Pre-intermediate levels. The courses last for 136 hours

and are developed as 50 intensive lessons of 240minutes each over ten weeks. The Elementary level one class are currently

working through Cutting Edge Elementary, modules 1-4. This group will revise common words, numbers, plurals, the

alphabet, pronouns, possessive adjectives, greetings, the verb to be, personal information vocabulary, present simple,

favourite things vocabulary, jobs, family vocabulary, activity verbs, adverbs of frequency and vocabulary relating to

likes/dislikes, films and celebrity. There are 5 students in this class and they are all local. The Pre-Intermediate level is

currently working through Cutting Edge Pre-Intermediate as well as an ESP cabin crew manual. They are covering modules

1-10 including lexical items relating to holidays, travel, first aid and health and safety.

Cutting Edge is accompanied by digital content which supplements and consolidates the learning from each module. The

digital content includes presentation material which we use on Interwrite IWBs and ceiling mounted projectors. It has built in

speakers and acts as a dual solution, as there is a whiteboard as backup in case the technology fails. We currently use this

mainly as a presentation tool, although we also use it to play web based listening and video activities, and all activities are

supplemented by web quests on the Longman website www.pearsonlongman.com/newcuttingedge.

The British Council prides itself as being at the forefront of online learning resources with resources such as

www.go4english.com and www.learnenglish.britishcouncil.org. However, the focus of this essay will consider how we can

enhance our web based language learning activities, II suspect that this may integrate well with our current technological

situation and it could potentially add value to the Communicative Language Approach as it provides an array of authentic

material which can both be moulded around learner needs, and also provides rich content that enhances communicative

competencies.

This essay focuses on the effective design of web inquiry tasks for language learning. Within this title, I will introduce web

quests and explore both their benefits and challenges; this will be used in lessons to supplement the content of textbooks with

web quests and reading activities that provide real world, dynamic content designed for use at a variety of skill levels. One

aspect of this goal is to help students become autonomous and motivated learners through the development of study,

2
research skills and critical analysis. The secondary goal is integrating the use of the WWW with classroom learning and

personal practise.

In the following sections I will provide an overview on web quests; what they are, their structure, and useful resources one can

use to design their own. Later in the essay, I will look into the benefits and challenges of using web quests, and explore the

similarities and differences between reading printed materials versus reading on-line. Section two will then explore in further

detail how this combines with second language learner strategies and the study skills required to facilitate learning. Section

three will look at design options. Section four will evaluate the successes and failures of implementing web quests in class

and will make recommendations for moving forward with them in future.

1.2 An Introduction to the World Wide Web and Web quests

Web quests were introduced in 1993 by Bernie Dodge, a professor at San Diego State University. He defined a Web quest as

‘an inquiry orientated activity in which some or all of the information comes from the Internet’.

A Web quest ‘provides students with a list of Web sites as a starting point for gathering information’ and then establishes

tasks that involve gathering and using information purposefully. This then serves as an authentic task within a socially

constructed environment where target language is produced as part of constructing a final product or presentation.

The desired learning effects include learning through authentic tasks, negotiating meanings and making group decisions

through group interaction in the target language, constructing knowledge of a particular subject and partaking in learner

centred and group centred activities. Furthermore, whilst participating in such activities, students activate critical thinking

skills which involve sifting through web resources, synthesising information, creating their new product, relating information

read to the task, arriving at group decisions and developing their particular role within the web quest. According to Bloom’s

taxonomy analysis, synthesis and evaluation are classed as higher-thinking skills which involve developing and deepening

both knowledge and understanding.

In summary, through web quests students confront real world issues, they negotiate meaning of a central question that needs

answering whilst taking on roles that help them to develop such expertise. Furthermore, a real audience is created and

feedback can be given from both the individuals reflection, peers and the teacher. Web quests are rooted in learning theory

and are based upon elements of cognitive psychology and constructivism (they construct their own meaning from connected

prior knowledge and experiences). The teacher is able to guide the thinking process through good planning, prompts and

scaffolding. The students work in co-operative groups to transform the knowledge and information (using higher order thinking

skills) to create their own product.

One of the disadvantages to using web quests in class is that they sometimes reduce the amount of teacher and student

interaction. Students may get lost whilst navigating the web and the language may not be appropriately graded to the students

level. Furthermore, the students may not have the technical skills required to complete the task. They may need to pick out

useful information which may be difficult if they lack the necessary higher order thinking skills.

3
Webquest.org (http://webquest.org/index.php) provides comprehensive information about web quests. It provides everything

from theories to implementation tips and resources. Quest garden (http://questgarden.com) is a useful tool which helps

teachers to create their own web quests and host them on the internet.

Web quests combine group activities with an end goal. For example, creating a document that collects, summarizes, and

synthesizes information gathered. This could take the form of writing a report, giving a presentation, filling out a questionnaire,

or creating a Web site. The tasks can be simple, short-term, and direct like the Beginner level web quest(ordering a meal from

an on-line menu/ answering questions in a quiz treasure hunt style) or more complex and long-term (planning a vacation

abroad).These are more likely to be longer term web quests such as the Pre-Intermediate web quest where the instructional

goal was extending and refining knowledge (Marzano, 1992) through the creation of a presentation.

Typically web quests are structured into an introduction, a task that is achievable and interesting task (this clearly states what

is supposed to be accomplished), a set of information sources that are needed to complete the task, a description of process

(how to go about it), guidance on how to organise the acquired information, and a conclusion that brings closure to the quest.

An example of this structure can be seen in the web quest in Appendix 1.

In longer term web quests the learners also negotiate group organisation, roles, the task approach, sharing, and research;

planning and production of the final outcome; display of the information; reading of shared outcomes; personal evaluation of

the task, and collaborative processes and awareness of strategy uses.

Examples of these structures can be seen in Appendices 1 and 5.Web quests can be student-oriented (often including CLT

activities such as role play, interviews, information gaps, games, surveys and pair work) and also collaborative, in that

students are engaged in constructivist activities that result in shared learning experiences and new knowledge based inquiry-

oriented language use and Web research skills.

They combine both authentic tasks with a scaffolded learning structure and internet resources. This develops not only

individual expertise but also group participation in a process that transforms newly acquired information into a deeper

understanding

Web quests can be student-oriented (often including CLT activities such as role play, interviews, information gaps, games,

surveys and pair work) and also collaborative, in that students are engaged in constructivist activities that result in shared

learning experiences and new knowledge based inquiry-oriented language use and Web research skills. They combine both

authentic tasks with a scaffolded learning structure and internet resources. This develops not only individual expertise but also

group participation in a process that transforms newly acquired information into a deeper understanding.

4
Savery and Duffy (1995) argue that, ‘puzzlement is the stimulus and organiser for learning.’ Brooks & Brooks, 1999 similarly

argue that a teacher can challenge students by “posing contradictions, presenting new information, and asking questions,

encouraging research, and engaging students in inquiries designed to challenge current concepts.”

The idea underpinning this concept is that the open-ended questions engage the learners’ prior knowledge and stimulates

curiosity that then inspires further investigation, resulting in a better understanding of the lesson material. Web quests should

be designed to make the best use of students’ time and efficiency. This time boundary also aids the students in organising

and structuring the use of their time more effectively encouraging efficiency. Finally, the conclusive stage of the web quest

should help students to reflect upon their own cognitive and meta-cognitive learning strategies.

Implementation of Web Quests In Two Different Level EFL classes at The British Council , Abu Dhabi

Introduction and Task

In the Beginner web quest we have already covered the lexical items in the web quest using Cutting Edge Beginner We have

also spent the previous module using positive, negative and question forms of both the verbs to be and to do. In the web

quest quiz the question forms that form a ‘reading quiz’ should be familiar to the students. Furthermore the celebrities chosen

are figures that they are familiar with who have previously been discussed in class. The students are given a specified task

sheet to complete.

Clear objectives and instructions i.e student process to find the answers

This is to focus them on the questions that they have to find the answers to. Through the combination of remodelling the target

language and vocabulary and the negotiation of the meaning verbally whilst discussing orally and in writing on their task

sheet I am aiming to improve and extend the knowledge and language that the Beginners’ already have. They will for

example ask each other for answers. However, to do so, would have to say something along the lines of ’where is Sheikh

Khalifa from... Abu Dhabi or Al Ain? These are target question forms and lexical country items which I will elicit using the web

quest.

Process and resources

I hope to do this through the use of the five criteria for effective scaffolding (Applebee, 1986) which includes the student’s

ownership in their contribution to the activity, the appropriateness of the task (for example this web quest builds upon what

the class have previously learnt in Module 1, whilst also challenging them and stretching their learning further), a structured

learning environment (the fluidity from the textbook to the web quest provides a natural sequence of thought and language to

5
be used in the task, the previous frame of reference from the lesson adds structure as does the time limit of the task) and

transfers control and responsibility of learning to the students. This combines well with the process and structure involved in

the planning of a web quest and how it is structured to scaffold, support, encourage and stretch learning. Due to the

level of proficiency within this group I opted for Scrimshaw‘s (1993:169) hypertext network A. I did this to make it easier for the

beginner class to locate information that was graded to an appropriate level and in order to control the density of information.

I realised that navigating and reading the web would be difficult due to poor reading skills and the fact that the text is and

scrolled differently in Arabic, I therefore made it impossible to click on anything other than the appropriate text.

Evaluation

The efficiency of the web quest was measured using the relevant Cutting Edge end of module test. All of the ladies scored

over 45/50. It was also evaluated using a web rubriq for which the criteria included use of the target language, ability to

understand authentic text, strategies used to aid comprehension, standard of written and oral output produced. Each of these

were given a score in each of these areas between 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent).

Conclusion

In the Pre-Intermediate web quest the degree of scaffolding was far less as these students were fairly autonomous. However,

they had previously encountered the lexical vocabulary required, will and won’t, going to, planning to, would like to and would

rather prior to being asked to research and plan their ideal holiday. This was much more Scrimshaw‘s (1993:169) Network C

where students had far more freedom and autonomy to plan their perfect holiday. They were asked to research different

hotels that they would like to stay in and chose three different countries for the following two week period. They then had to

present their findings to the class and find out their colleagues plans. At a later point, after testing, I realised that I could

develop their understanding further, I asked them to present their findings in the form of a webpage and presentation. They

are still working on these.

Evaluation of web quests

Rubrics are used as a tool to evaluate web quests. They can be applied to a variety of teaching situations and help teachers

to take advantage of possibilities and challenges which may be inherent in the format of the web quest.

They maximise the planning and design of an effective learning environment for students and help teachers to pinpoint the

ways in which they can optimise the functionality and stages of the web quest. This web quest rubric was created by Bernie

Dodge can be found at http://webquest.sdsu.edu/webquestrubric.html

Rubrics are used to design appropriate learning opportunities that apply technology enhanced learning strategies to support

the diverse needs of learners; to identify and locate technology resources and evaluate them for accuracy and suitability and

plan the management of the technology within the context of the leaning activities, use technology is used to support learner-

6
centred strategies that address the specific and diverse needs of students and develop students’ higher thinking skills and

creativity.

Rubrics can also be used to evaluate students’ success in the web quest. For example, if the student were doing a

presentation the possible dimensions for the rubric could be; understanding and internalisation of the past simple, voice

projection, body language, grammar, pronunciation, organisation. Once the dimensions are selected benchmark descriptions

are written. There would then be possible dimensions to each benchmarked descriptor. Examples of these can be found at

http://edweb.sdsu.edu/webquest/webquestrubric.html

1.3Reading and the Web

One of the weakest areas for many students is reading. Reading lessons can be experienced as dull by students. Students

often lack the interest and motivation in the prescribed texts. Furthermore, they sometimes have not yet developed adequate

reading strategies. Whilst reading The Reading Matrix (Anderson, 2003) Anderson’s 38 items that measure Meta cognitive

reading strategies were of great interest. These strategies were grouped into three sub-categories; global reading strategies,

problem solving strategies and support strategies.

(Anderson, 2003) explains that the reading process should be ‘an active fluent process that involves the reader and the

reading material in building meaning’. This quote summarised all of the elements depicted by Bernie Dodge in his description

about web quests, and how the best learning activities are those in which students work together to negotiate meaning, focus

on a specific task, engage in higher level thinking skills that involve taking a stance on the merits of something and gaining a

new and deeper understanding.

7
The internet has entered L2 classrooms faster than books, television, or any other forms of communication technologies

(Coiro, 2005; Leu, 2002). It has changed literacy skills and students require new comprehension strategies to read and learn

from texts on the Internet (Coiro, 2005; Schmar-Dobler, 2003).

Foltz(1993) found whilst comparing paper reading with hypermedia and multimedia that readers use the same types of

strategies in these three areas. However, readers used more heuristics and signals to guide themselves through the

textcoherently than they used when reading print. Foltz concluded that coherence is key for hypertext reading material.

Foltz (Foltz,1993) also did a study on labelling reading strategies used by EFL learners within an on-line reading environment.

He used both qualitatative investigation (think aloud strategies; Elshair, 2002) and also quantitative analysis (I.e.

questionnaire, Anderson, 2003). The outcome of his study was that readers naturally transfer reading strategies between the

different mediums (Elshair, 2002).

The teaching implications of Elshair’s study were that it is important to teach text-related and web-related strategies in on-line

reading texts. In relation to Anderson’s study (Anderson, 2003) which looked into on-line EFL reading strategies through an

on-line survey (OSORS). OSORS consists of global reading strategies, support strategies and problem-solving strategies.

Anderson (2003) asserts that the strategies outlined in OSORS can help to promote L2 readers on-line reading abilities and

recommends that teachers incorporate strategy awareness and training components in launching online tasks. The use of

reading strategies in second language learning have been recognised as an important way to enhance reading

comprehension (Anderson,1991).

READING STRATEGIES TOP UP AND BOTTOM DOWN

Reading strategies are normally described as “top-down” or “bottom up” in nature. The “top-down are the strategies used to

predict text content, construct a goal for reading, and self-monitor the process are described as either general strategies

(Block, 1986) or global strategies (Sheorey &Mokhtari). “Bottom-up” strategies are strategies which readers use to understand

specific linguistic units; they are called local strategies (Block.1986; Block, 1992).

Global strategies are intentional and carefully planned by learners to monitor their reading. These are the types of strategies

readers use when the text gets difficult and include; guessing the meaning from unknown words, adjusting one’s reading rate,

visualising the information read, rereading the text to improve comprehension, and resolving information which is conflicting

etc.

Support strategies are used to help comprehension and include using a dictionary, taking notes, highlighting textual

information or translating from the mother tongue to the target language (Huang, 2009).

8
The Value Of The Material When Reading On-Line?

Wallace (1980) explores the sub skills employed when working with authentic texts; locating information (the resource),

reading with a purpose, surveying the title, surveying the book, surveying the chapters, scanning, determining text structure

and dealing with graphic information. The styles of reading are similar to those described by Pugh (1978) and Lunzer and

Gardner (1979): receptive reading (when a reader wants to enjoy a short story), reflective reading (the reader pauses and

reflects back), skim reading (the reader is getting a global impression of the content of the text, scanning (they are looking for

specific information), intensive reading (they are looking carefully at the text, perhaps studying lexical items).We use the same

skill set with on-line reading.

We skim read when we browse for titles, introduction, conclusion, headings, general contents and visual or audio on-line

cues. The only difference is that we skim by the process of navigation via screens, links and scrolling.

That said the importance of defining and judging the quality of the electronic information is a further required skill (Ciolek,

1997).It is important to develop decision-making strategies about the text and its content. Skimming and scanning will help to

divulge the relevance of the information but also its validity. Clues to authority of text should be debated: publications ranging

from those that have a personal writer’s preference or experience or are they a subjective evaluation? (Salute, 2002). A key to

textual authority may be the situating of the text in relation to a wider context; this could be through bibliographic referencing or

through debate in other works.

1.4 Reading and the Specifics of Hypertext

Hypertext allows us to write texts in a ‘three dimensional way’. Slaouti (2002)discusses the metaphor of the book which we

turn from top to bottom as we scroll down a screen. But points out that we have another tool to access other sections of our

metaphorical book called ‘hyper textual links’. It is important to be aware of the multidimensional way that texts may work.

9
Furthermore, the reader could read the hypertext in different ways depending on the links that they choose to follow. The

choice of links attached to each other means that the reader has to make decisions regarding the importance of the link status

as well as its global relevance to the lesson or skill.

This can be harnessed by critical awareness of the status of the link and its relevance to the current mode of reading

(reflective reading, receptive reading, skim reading, scanning or intensive reading) and its relevance to our purpose must be

developed in learners in order for students to develop the necessary skills for autonomous study.

Learners need to achieve a sense of control by using critical skills and being self-aware of successes and failures. This can

be developed through reflective practise. Chambers (1999:161) suggests that we help learners to develop the key skills of

‘self interrogation’, an ability to ‘monitor’ and make effective task analyses to obtain a higher level of information processing.

1.5 Opportunities and Challenges of Web quest learning

The World Wide Web brings relevant and authentic content to Language learning activities. It has increased the variety of

resources for language learning materials. According to Chun and Plass (2000) the features of the World Wide Web has the

potential to enhance language learning through universal availability of authentic materials, communication capabilities,

through networking, multimedia capabilities, nonlinear hypermedia structures of information. In addition to this, the way we

use the web is consistent with learning theories concerning how to read authentic materials.

The on-line environment helps us to take advantage of a vast amount of images and hypermedia functions to attach text and

images to a particular task. Visual aids have been found to be effective as organisers and also in helping to build background

knowledge specific to a particular text, it facilitates contextualisation of what is being read (Omaggio, 1979). Images such as

cultural images can be used to intrigue and elicit curiosity. They can also encourage student prediction by asking how

illustrations might relate to the text (Barnett, 1989)

On the other hand, Chun and Plass (2000) also state that, ‘the use of networked environment for learning in general and for

second language acquisition in particular, raises many questions regarding the design of these environments that differ from

the traditional design of print.

Furthermore, there are also limitations on interactivity and bandwidth. The hyper-linked structure along with the way the

information is presented on the Internet can cause students to get lost. Often we have no control over the content and

accuracy of the information. In addition to this the capability of using the Internet pre assumes reader judgement, a certain

level of proficiency in the L2 language and critical reading skills.

2.1 On-line Language Reading Skills And Strategy Use of L2 Students

Skimming

Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'.

10
Examples of Skimming:

•The Newspaper

•Magazines

•Travel Brochures.

•Hypertext along titles etc.

Scanning

Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of

information you need.

Examples of Scanning

•The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper.

•A schedule

•The Pre-Intermediate web quest

We often wonder in the classroom why certain students learn efficiently and naturally, whilst others are slower learners. This

raises the question of the role of learning strategies and techniques that enhance second language acquisition and whether

they can enhance the performance of weaker students.

Brown and Palinscar (1982) classified learning strategies as meta-cognitive or cognitive. Metacognitive strategies involve

thinking about the learning process, planning for learning, monitoring the learning while it is taking place and self-evaluation

of learning after the activity. Cognitive strategies are more directly related to specific tasks or learning objectives. These

strategies involve manipulation and transformation of the material to be learned. There is a third type of strategy referred to

in literature as social-affective by Mc Donald (1979) which found that students who trained to use a co-operative learning

strategies for reading outperformed those who worked individually. When providing reading activities via hypertext this is

really interesting and should in theory enhance student comprehension and performance in my classes.

O’ Malley, Russo and Chamot (1983) researched the use of strategies in second language acquisition. Comments from the

student interviews revealed students’ conscious use of strategies in their efforts to learn English. The meta-cognitive

strategies students were consciously using were advance organisers, directed attention, selective attention, self-

management, advance preparation and self-evaluation. I have given my students a similar questionnaire to help them

develop both cognitive and meta-cognitive awareness ( please see Appendix 7).

11
 When reflecting on cognitive strategies in our post-task reflection students agreed that they used repetition, resourcing,

directed physical response, translation, grouping, note-taking, deduction, recombination, imagery, remembering key words,

contextualisation, elaboration, inference and transfer. They were given the same list of skills from O’ Malley, Russo and

Chamot (1983) researched the use of strategies in second language acquisition to help with the activity.

The social-affective strategies they used were cooperation and questioning for clarification.

The study found that intermediate level students reported using meta-cognitive strategies more frequently than the beginner

level students. This may have been indicatory of the needing a certain level of proficiency in order to reflect upon their

learning styles, plan for learning opportunities, and make comparisons of their output to that of a native speaker. Both groups

favoured repetition as the most frequently used strategy. Students were more hesitant to use strategies that required them to

understand the meaning of the word. This implies that they could be more effective if they were trained to use these

additional strategies.

An Internet based approach to task based or project learning also requires the teaching of specific skills required to conduct

research. Jordan (1997) lists his ideas on the study skills required within ‘various study situations’. He thinks that the use of

the WWW as an information source might be seen to fall within the activities of private study and reading and fall within the

domains of using reference materials, essays, reports etc.

Jones (1996) considers how we develop ‘information literacy’ and critical thinking skills that enable us to synthesise and then

create new information. Therefore we need the skills to successfully exploit the WWW, its texts and its tools. For instance in

Mc Kenzie (1995) “Interactive Research Cycle” the different stages of the research process used with her advanced language

students included questioning, planning, gathering, sifting, synthesising and evaluating. Using the Internet for language

learning requires a variety of searching skills. For example, knowledge of different search engines and how they work,

whether they are in lower or upper cases, knowledge of HTML and web searching.

3.1 The Effective Design of Web quest Tasks for Language Learning

Furstenberg (1997) suggests that student tasks should ‘exploit the associative nature of hypertext/hypermedia so that students

can collaboratively discover and construct new connections which they combine as a coherent whole.

She sees the role of the instructor and web designer as that of designing ‘tasks that enable students to tell us what they have

seen, learned, understood and that enable students to work collaboratively to create valid arguments, contexts and stories

that they can support illustrate and justify’.

Martinez-Lage, 1995; Zamel, 1992 and Warshauer recommend that activities should be experiential and goal orientated and

that tasks should be consistent with situated learning.

Brandl describes three different models on how learning tasks could be designed and discusses a variety of factors such as

curriculum, pedagogical approaches, the learner needs, student proficiency levels, and technological challenges that could

affect the design of these materials. These designs are based on the level of the teacher and student involvement, the scope

of the learning environment, the learning processes and tasks and the different ways in which one could explore reading

12
materials. He also demonstrates how lessons can be orchestrated with varying degrees of teacher involvement, learner

autonomy and authentic exploration of internet based materials.

Brandl (2002) describes how the design of such lessons can either be teacher- centred (where teachers take a central role in

controlling the content and learning tasks) or student-centred (where the teachers role is as facilitator and designer and to

guide the learner).

In Appendice 1, my first lesson plan is teacher-centred and in Appendix 5, my second lesson plan is student-centred.

Ommagio (2001) had the idea of moving from a teacher-centred to a student-centred approach and assigning students

increasing responsibility in taking charge of their own learning. This promotes development of learner independence and

autonomy and follows the principles of communicative language learning (Ommaggio, 2001).

In Brandl’s first approach the lesson design is teacher-determined. This means that the teacher pre-screens and selects

cultural readings from Internet based resources then designs comprehension questions which are made available through the

teachers webpage. Pedagogically this design allows the teacher to grade the contents and tasks to the proficiency level of the

students. Learning is scaffolded by guiding the learners’ through the texts. The tasks support the comprehension process by

focussing on textual, linguistic and cultural elements. See Appendices 1 and 4.In the beginner web quest, I have attempted to

support students with the decoding and recognition of vocabulary by using hyperlinks to provide a pictoral glossary to promote

more fluent reading and enhance comprehension of the Texts (Davis, 1989; Martinez-Lage, 1997). The advantages of Internet

based reading activities over traditional print activities are that learners get to explore authentic reading materials outside of

class at their own pace and this provide time for communicative learning activities in class. Also, the on-line environment

provides us with an array of images and hypermedia functions to attach text to a reading which then facilitates understanding.

In Brandl’s second approach, the lesson design is teacher facilitated. The lesson is designed around a set of learning tasks

that engage the learners in exploring reading materials in their authentic environments. The teacher determines a particular

topic and a set of goals for their lesson. For example, planning a holiday (Please see Appendix 6). The website and content

are pre-screened by the teacher and through a particular task design the teacher is able to facilitate the students reading

process and guide the students through pre-selected resources which provide a clear goal to be accomplished by the

students. The tasks must not be too broad as the students may get lost or wonder aimlessly. At the same time the tasks

should be open enough to provide multiple paths, outcomes and interpretations that form the basis of subsequent classroom

interaction (Furstenberg, 1997).

In the second approach the teacher controls all navigational scope and the number and types of sites that the students can

access. The task types normally include comparisons, descriptions and short summaries.

The outcome of the assignment is clearly defined yet still open-ended. An advantage of the design of the second approach is

that it integrates authentic materials especially with regard to the availability of non-linear resources (Cutting Edge Pre-

Intermediate).

This approach is well suited for beginner to intermediate levels and facilitates the exploration of selected materials when close

intervention isn’t needed to ensures comprehension. However, the abundance of information can be negative if not controlled.

13
Other difficulties include problems in navigating the structure of the hypermedia, cognitive overload, and that each hyperlink is

connected to new information and an unfamiliar environment. The learner must decode not just the different structure of

information but also the basic vocabulary and syntax itself (Chun & Plass, 2000). Furthermore, when pre-screening, selecting

and designing sites teachers need to keep a close eye on the linguistic complexity and cognitive and meta-cognitive skills

used in processing instruction materials. Teachers need to control the navigational scope so that students don’t get lost or

overwhelmed. There is an opportunity for teachers to build student confidence both through language and also through

familiarity of the literacy required to perform autonomously within the academic environment. Benson (1997) refers to the

notion of control and how this can encourage autonomy. He discusses the control over the management of learning, control

over content of learning and also control over resources.

Technologically development of teacher facilitated approach and design are minimal. Although pre-screening and selection of

sites can be time consuming as can checking the functionality of the links.

Finally, the assessment criteria need to take account of how the students will be evaluated. The timing of the task needs to be

controlled which makes this approach well suited to short term web quests which would suit intermediate levels and above.

The third approach that Brandl outlines is the learner-determined approach. This integrates Internet resources that are entirely

learner-centred. Learners determine topics, reading materials and how to go about exploring readings themselves.

They decide on the process, the product and formulate goals, resources and outcomes. In this approach, the student

becomes a self-directed and autonomous learner. This approach is based on the theory behind project based learning which

Stoller (1997) describes as cooperative rather than competitive, leading to authentic integration of skills and processing of

information from varied sources, culminating in an end product.

Holec (1981) is quoted, ‘autonomy is the ability to take charge of one’s learning.’

This is a skill to be acquired by natural means or in a systematic or deliberate way’. He goes on to say that learners are

responsible for deciding what is to be learned, when, how and in what order, and by what means. It is also their responsibility

to set their own goals and measure the degree to which they have been successful in reaching them.

According to Chun and Plass (2000): “Constructivist approaches to learning advocate allowing learners not only to interact

directly with the information to be learned, but also to add their own information and construct their own relationships.” With

the student cognitively engaged in seeking answers, making generalisations, testing hypothesis and taking a major role in

planning and negotiating course content, the students become active contributors to their language learning instead of

passive recipients of knowledge.

The project-based approach is mostly suitable for intermediate and advanced language learners. On a technological note, the

teacher will need knowledge about web browsers, search engines and their effective use.

Within teacher-centred approaches Brandl offers pointers on potential pedagogical and instructional design issues that need

to be taken into account to ensure a successful learning experience for the learner. I have included these points in a pre-web

quest planning sheet.

4.1: The Evaluation of Web Quest Tasks, Post Web Quest Thinking and Strategies for Language Learning

In order to evaluate the efficiency of the web quests I decided to use both quantitative and qualitative analysis.

For qualitative analysis I used a questionnaire and a group interview/skills development and feedback session. For quantitive

analysis I used a web-skills questionnaire from (Slaouti, 2002) Post-task reflection. The results can be found in the

appendices under post-task reflection results.

Much of the literature (Konishi, 2003; Anderson, 2003) on internet usage in the EFL classroom discusses the close correlation

between strategy use and increased proficiency in a second language for the L2 learner.

When the pre-intermediate class started their web quest task they started their search with a particular strategy.

They then revised their cognitive strategies as they continued to work through the task. At the end of the task we discussed

and evaluated the cognitive strategies that the group used to effectively locate information. In doing this activity the group

reflected of their learning process and meta-cognitive strategies. We looked at areas of success and also areas to be

improved upon Konishi (2003) and Anderson (2003) both argue that for learners to fully exploit authentic texts offered on the

Web; they need to develop such strategies.

Oxford (2003) states that teachers can actively help students to stretch their learning styles by trying out some strategies that

are outside of their primary style preferences. They need to reflect upon their strategy use, what worked, and what didn’t?

With experience meta-cognitive strategies develop and learners benefit from being aware of these strategies.

In Appendix 1, my first lesson plan is teacher-centred and in Appendix 2, my second lesson plan is student-centred.

It is difficult as a first time web quest designer to know where to start in my evaluation of how effective my web quest lessons

were. As a starting point I used Tom March’s ideas on real, rich and relevant. He explains in his article of ‘Association for

Supervision and Curriculum Development’ how providing a new compilation of facts does not necessarily imply that the facts

have been processed (Scardamalia and Bereiter, 1999). However, he goes on to say that making sense of a topic of interest

ensures that they are!

Tom March argues that the personification of particular viewpoints provides different and varied perspectives from which to

reflect on how the ‘presented knowledge can be obtained and applied in everyday situations’ (Stein, 1998). I feel that this is a

good way of keeping web quests rich.

He quotes (Bransford, 1985) ‘providing them with a problem where they have to find a solution and use their critical thinking

skills to develop new concepts keeps the web quest real’.

Finally, he discusses relevance and even suggests that asking students for their personal perspective in predicting future

outcomes helps to keep the task both relevant to the individuals and real.

In terms of evaluating my web quest lessons I gave my pre-intermediate students a copy of the web quest rubric from:

15
http://webquest.sdsu.edu/webquestrubric.html and asked for feedback and comments in a separate study skill counselling

guidance session. The evaluation was divided into six sections which included overall aesthetics, introduction, task, process,

resources and evaluation. To ensure that the students grasped all categories of the rubric these discussions were conducted

in Arabic and English. Overall for the beginner class the students gave the lesson a rating of 43/50. In their feedback

comments in the session they explained that the overall visual appeal wasn’t engaging although the introduction was,

navigating in English was difficult and they didn’t know where to click for the linked information, the links didn’t look great as

there was some mechanical problem with the HTML. However, they found the task to be fun and engaging and were able to

write a list of skills and strategies used in both reading and writing tasks. They found the task to be motivating and well

connected to the relevant skill-set and lesson aim. During the allocated reflection time they were able to see the scaffolding

process and thought it was a rich way for them to understand language and reconstruct it. They felt that the resources were

relevant. However felt that Arabic translation would have made it easier and that the clarity of the evaluation criteria was clear.

The Pre-Intermediate class gave the lesson a rating of 49/50 and said: ‘at first this was so difficult but now I understand the

holiday brochure and I can stand up and talk about travel.’ They loved the interactive process of working collaboratively

together. At first the staging wasn’t clear and they didn’t understand the the underlying motive. They explained they are happy

with what they are able to do and they can clearly see what they have achieved, for them this is really motivating. However it

would have been helpful if I had pre-taught the reading vocabulary. Both groups were able to write a list of skills and

strategies that they used in on-line reading activities. Furthermore, the students who performed well talked the class through

their meta-cognition in the counselling session and they all wrote down a few goals on how they plan to improve.

Conclusion

As students learn pedagogical theory they are given an incentive to learn. While students’ negotiate the meaning of the task

and make sense from the ideas which they communicate and synthesise to others, they also get involved in using critical

thinking, problem solving and language learning.

At different stages within web quest students make new connections which enrich their understanding of the target language

in an authentic manner. They work in groups both individually within their particular research role, and also cooperatively as a

group to build and produce knowledge building upon their previous knowledge, language levels and abilities.

Before producing a web quest, students have engaged with a number of issues in relationship to teaching and learning with

technology, including information literacy, the ability to identify, locate, evaluate, and use information for a problem at hand.

Because the Internet is unpredictable, students investigate how to find trustworthy resources and they build guidelines that

distinguish complex educational resources from those that are less complex. Students have listed such criteria as information

retrieval, interactivity, and publishing capabilities in their evaluation of "good" websites. As users, they want a voice in the

16
learning process as well as control over their pace through a site. Brandl’s approach to scaffolded task- based learning allows

us this flexibility within our approach.

Good points to incorporate into future web quests:

In terms of incorporating these strategies at The British Council, the results show that the feedback from the pre-intermediate

class was far superior to that of the beginner class. I think for now it is probably wise to stick to the pre-intermediate Cutting

Edge Web Quests.

It is important to encourage interactive groups in the classroom-this enhances the supportive learning environment in class

and also the learning environment. Vygotsky, 1978 believed that critical thinking and language skills can be enhanced through

interaction with other students. In the web quests we set students tasks in groups of four. The purpose of setting these tasks

was to accelerate their writing and negotiation of meaning for their presentation in order to stimulate critical thinking.

Furthermore, students are encouraged to share their reading strategies together and co-operate together to make sense of

the text.

there are supplementary study skills required for
this type of study. For instance, students found it
difficult to select which information was useful
from the the hyperlinked texts.
All the hyperlinks were functional.
However, we were on wireless
connection and half way through the
web quest the internet connection
stopped. Luckily I had printed off back
up copies of the information.
Retrospectively the information in the
beginner web quest was too dense.
However, the pre prepared web quests
from Longman had just the right

graded to the correct proficiency level.

Not enough.
This work was really good for
developing self awareness and self

breaking skill sets and using them to
monitor the quality of their own work.
The writing was a much higher
standard than usual.
In the beginner web quest there was
much more teacher control than in the
pre intermediate web quest where the
teacher was just a facilitator.

Appendix 3: Letter from brother

Dear Julie,

Hello sis, hope everything is okay at home. I started this new school called Gordonstoun. It is an international school in

Scotland. The weather is very Cold and it rains a lot here. I arrived last week. I have to say, it is really different here from Abu

Dhabi. Abu Dhabi is hot and Scotland is freezing. I live with thirty boys. We all share a house together. I have the biggest room

but I share it with another boy called Gregor. He is German. There are lots of German people in this school. I don’t know why.

There are also some French boys in my house, a few Chinese, one Japanese girl, load of Russians, a Turkish lady and a few

Emiratis. We all stay together for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Elgin is a small town. There are not many shops. The only shop where we can buy things is a two-mile walk from school. You

walk straight down Duffus road and turn right at Duffus house. The shop is on the right hand side. They sell stamps for letters

and they have a post office too, chocolate, juice, biscuits. That’s about it really. They have some canned food tomatoes, soup,

fruit and some fresh vegetables. They also sell rice and pasta. The food at school is okay so I don’t shop in Duffus.

20
Everyday we get up at 6.00 am; we go for a run and then have a cold shower. At 7.00 am we have breakfast. There is tea and

coffee, fresh fruit and porridge or a hot breakfast. We start class at 8.00 am until 12.00, lunch is 12.00 until 1.00. Classes gain

from 1.00 until 3.00 and then we have activities. I do skiing from 3.00 until 5.00. At 5.00 we have an hour for homework and at

6.00 we have dinner 7.00 until 9.00 is homework again. We are free from 9-10. At ten we go to bed.

At the weekend there is a bus to Elgin. It takes half an hour to get to Elgin but it is worth the wait! In Elgin there are shops that

sell food, clothes, CD’s and DVD’s. We normally go for lunch with friends and watch football on the television. There are also

cinemas, café’s and a park.

Sergi is my best friend at school. He has a sister and a brother too so he understands what I have to put up with! Sergi likes

football too and when We don’t have to study we play video games together.

What are your students like this term? Are they fun? What do they do?

What are their hobbies? Do they like shooting and Judo? Do they like animals?

Okay well tell me everything. Oh, I really miss Jane and want to visit her in the holiday. Can you send me some money so that

I can book a train ticket to go and see her?

Thanks big sister!

Stuart.
