Introduction

This webquest was designed to intergrate technology into the Spanish 101 curriculm.

A webquest is not just a passive activity (like a workbook), but rather one which requires students attend to the input and then process it to produce thier own comprehensible output.

This activity helps students to develop proficiency in four areas of SLA, reading, writing, listening and speaking.

Learners

This webquest is designed to help attain proficiency in taking directions and giving directions using the imperative.

The level needed for this activitiy is very low as this webquest helps build vocabulary passively while the interalization of the input occurs during the completion of the exercises.

Curriculum Standards

The webquest adheres to the standards of BGSU's Spanish 101 program.

Process

Please see introduction page.

Lesson should be done in a 50 minute lab.

This particular webquest should be done individually.

Instructor should have experience using Audacity (a digital recording software), iTunes (a music/mp3 processing software), and the internet.

Resources Needed

Evaluation

Conclusion

Using a webquest can simulate an experience similar to that which would be required in a situation where the second language is needed. It offers a change of pace for both teacher and student from the text based learning.
