What is WebQuest

In this chapter, the authors propose to use the WebQuest tool in order to improve the motivation and communicative competence in the English language of 5-year-old students. WebQuest is a research activity in which students work with information taken from the internet, which is based on learning by discovery and can be used at any stage and subject of education. Its use in early childhood education has multiple advantages. Among them, it increases the motivation, interest, and attention of the students to the subject, improving the understanding and acquisition of contents. Therefore, the authors present a WebQuest to bring P5 students closer to learn English in a fun, interesting, and motivating way. The goal of this WebQuest is for students to learn vocabulary related to the physical and natural environment so as to create a dictionary. This improvement in motivation will lead them to face the learning of the English language with a more positive attitude and to a better learning of it.
