The role of WeQuests in learning a foreign/second language?

      Webquests is a very useful learning method. The teacher set the task and how to go about it along with providing his/her students with the links that have the information ready for them to explore and apply it in their learning.
     Students will be working in groups which are beneficial for the class environment; they will be working together and helping each others, which will build a strong relationship between them and makes the classroom environment friendly. Students will be responsible of themselves and have to work their task out without referring to the teacher they just have the wequest to help them do what they were asked to do.
      Using webquest in learning/teaching process provides both cooperative and collaborative learning for students as mentioned above, group work is what it is about. In future I think I will use it for one time and see whether or not students will accept it.
      Here in Saudi Arabia students do not have full access to the internet so it will be a problem for me if I use the webquest although it is very helpful and entertaining yet we can’t use it in all learning situations.
