Vance_XP: you could try uploading to slideshare.net isaperez2: not a webpage, sorry Lesley: If you click on the link, it opens in a separate window [Guest-6 has entered the meeting - 09/07/07 08:23:38 AM] isaperez2: I have a new computer and can do everything on it yet Vance_XP: thanks Leslie Guest-6: Graham [Guest-7 has entered the meeting - 09/07/07 08:24:13 AM] Graham: I'm back! isaperez2: then there is a another problem with WQ and second language teaching [Guest-5 bad connection - trying to re-connect] Lesley: Isabel is talking about webquests, Graham Vance_XP: cheers graham Graham: OK, I love webquests. Lesley: So, let's listen to Isabel and then we can ask questions isaperez2: because when students are doing a WQ in their mother tongue is much easier [Guest-5 has lost connection] isaperez2: have used WQ, Grahan? isaperez2: the topic of this paper is Webquest and CLIL isaperez2: that is content and language integrated learning taught by means of WebQuests Graham: Yes, there is a nice one on Paris that I have used. I can't find the URL at the moment. isaperez2: in Spain there is a lot of interest on CLIL at the moment and I think it is Graham: Webquests are quite big in secondary education in the UK. Heike: Isabell, may I ask ... once the students complete the webquest isaperez2: the same in all Europe Heike: how do they present their findings? isaperez2: heike, it depends on each WQ Penny: i can remember doing lots of webquests/thinkquests at school :) but for languages it was always "planning a holiday..." isaperez2: the final task can be anything MoiraH: I have used many and have designed some - it is very time consuming when following the BD's 5 steps [LindaB bad connection - trying to re-connect] isaperez2: a discussion, a poster, a report, etc [LindaB has entered the meeting - 09/07/07 08:28:51 AM] [LindaB has lost connection] isaperez2: I agree it is very time consuming, that's why I have defined WebTasks isaperez2: and I use webtasks more than WQ Peppi2: What are the webtask in comparison to wq? isaperez2: but the thing is that WQ are good for content and language teaching

Webquest: a collaborative strategy to teach content and language on the Web Isabel Pérez Torez LindaB: Peppi: Antje would like to be a blogger! She registered to the virtual strand isaperez2: the format of a webtask is more open Peppi2: OK Linda ! Will add her. Graham: Try here: LT Scotland... Graham: http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/mfle/sharingpractice/internetchallenges/ makinginternetchallenges.asp isaperez2: http://isabelperez.com/taller1/webtasks.htm [LindaB bad connection - trying to re-connect] isaperez2: it is in spanish, isaperez2: but a webtask is doing a task using resources from the web [Penny bad connection - trying to re-connect] [LindaB has lost connection] Graham: Can just about make sense of the Spanish :-) isaperez2: with a communicative objective isaperez2: I knew you understood Spanish MoiraH: o what you call a web task is task based learning in the form of a webquest? [Penny has lost connection] isaperez2: this is a webtask isaperez2: http://poster.4teachers.org/worksheet/view.php?ID=57282 MoiraH: ah yes, your Kyoto Project Graham: LT Scotland focuses mainly on tasks. isaperez2: it is more open and give more freedom to the teacher, I defined webtask because isaperez2: they are more useful in secondary education isaperez2: but I think WebQuests can be more interesting in higher education Graham: Yes, secondary school kids need more focus. isaperez2: what do you think? [RitaZ bad connection - trying to re-connect] [RitaZ has lost connection] Graham: Here's the LT Scoltand link again... Graham: http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/mfle/sharingpractice/internetchallenges/ makinginternetchallenges.asp isaperez2: there is not much research on this yet [Guest-6 has entered the meeting - 09/07/07 08:35:41 AM] isaperez2: great MoiraH: I teach in HE and the learners do like a good webquest if it is appropriate to their immediate needs Lesley: If you want to move between the pages in the right hand window, just right click (if you're using a pc not mac) and choose back Lesley: or forward isaperez2: yes, that is, it must be significant isaperez2: for the students Lesley: What would you class as significant, Isabel? MoiraH: if it is just to put them in front of a computer for a while 'searching' they very quickly get bored if the topic isaperez2: a topic of interest for them MoiraH: if the topic is not in their 'hottest list of interests' isaperez2: because of their curriculum and also because of their interest Lesley: And how do you elicit or identify such topics? Lesley: Is something in the curriculum of interest, though? isaperez2: that's a difficult question, but I think curiosity Graham: I notice LT Scotland refers to "Internet Challenges". isaperez2: is something we have to elicit first and then they may find it Page 2 of 4 EuroCALL 2007 Virtual Strand

Webquest: a collaborative strategy to teach content and language on the Web Isabel Pérez Torez interesting even if it is in the curriculum Lesley: It's a definite challenge, isn't it? Lesley: I mean to find / elicit that information Graham: Do you know this site... isaperez2: or curious topic, such as nanotechnology can be connected to their curriculum Graham: http://teachers.teach-nology.com/web_tools/web_quest/ MoiraH: with graduate students, I have observed they lose interest if the webquest is too long Peppi2: Hello Eija :) MoiraH: however, if the interest is there, they then continue to 'search' and create further content themselves Eija: Hi :) Graham: Here's quite nice WQ... Graham: http://www.wagner-juergen.de/franz/cyber.htm isaperez2: yes, log webquest are not very useful Lesley: Hello Eija.

Vance_XP: np MoiraH: no sorry, onestopenglish isaperez2: however it can be more useful than a real webquest Lesley: Isabel, perhaps it would be useful for you to have a copy of the discussion - or maybe others would like it? Graham: I'd like to see a copy of this discussion. isaperez2: yes, please Peppi2: Me too! Need time to digest :) Lesley: If everyone agrees, I could copy it, put it into a document and put it on the resources page. How does that sound? MoiraH: great Lesley: resources page of the virtual strand website, that is Lesley: Ok, so, Isabel, Moira, Peppi and Graham agree. I'll need to mail Penny for permission if she can't get back online.
