In this technological era we live in, the educative scenario is changing rapidly and
significantly due to the incorporation of Internet. Therefore, education should pay special
attention to society needs and for this reason computers and Internet have to be part of the
teaching process in order to make students ready for this new world. Yet, Internet opens a wide
range of options and materials ready to be used in the teaching and learning process, particularly
in the language learning.
This final Master Thesis is focus on the implementation and assessment of a computer-based
approach, the WebQuest, in a third year of compulsory secondary education. The didactic unit
implemented deals with the different English-speaking countries and their particularities. This
activity has been carried out using in-class sessions together with autonomous work and group
work.
The purpose of this study is to analyse and discuss students' opinions and reactions towards
the use of this teaching and learning strategy in an English as a Second Language class. Thus, the
study aims at showing whether students 1) gain a higher motivation in learning English, 2) have
improved their digital competence and 3) have acquired cultural knowledge. For this reason,
students' task and two post-questionnaires are taking into account.
The results of the post-questionnaires have suggested that the use of new technologies have
motivated students towards the teaching and learning of the English subject. Moreover, their
digital competence as well as their cultural competence have improved while working with the
designed WebQuest. [-]
