Internet Content-Based Activities for English for Specific Purposes
The need to promote technological literacy among students and the focus on content-based instruction as the most appropriate method to learn and construct knowledge have resulted in the development of activities to integrate the Internet into the classroom. WebQuests are activities designed for this purpose that take full advantage of the resources on Internet. Although the WebQuests free to use on the Internet are designed for native speakers and have not been developed as activities for second and foreign language learning, I propose that they can be effectively used as activities for a content-based approach to English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction. In this article I will describe the benefits of a content-based approach to ESP, examine how WebQuests can be integrated into a content-based ESP syllabus, analyse the different types of WebQuests suitable for ESP teaching (specifically for engineering students), and discuss the limitations of this type of activity and the factors that should be taken into account when using WebQuests for language learning.

Introduction: From URLS to Pedagogy Like many teachers, I have been inundated with books, articles, and exhortations about the educational importance of the internet that frequently turn out to be little more than lengthy lists of web page addresses (URLs). What is often missing is any clear identification of the new pedagogical opportunities that the internet offers. As one who has been experimenting with a broad range of internet projects and activities for close to ten years, I offer the observations below about what I have learned from my own experience and from the experience of others.

      Draft report for LTSN This LTSN funded project developed online resources for use by 3/ 4 or honours level students to help them prepare for weekly seminars. The focus was on improving their evaluation of primary evidence, both textual and visual. Aims of the Project In traditionally taught history courses students are often asked to read documents from a given period and comment on their usefulness as historical evidence. This project aimed to enrich this task in two ways. Firstly, by extending the access of students to rare documents and pictures by using some of the best quality material available on the world-wide-web. Secondly, by asking students to post their comments on the evidence to a discussion forum where they could be shared with others prior to the face-to-face-seminar. It was important to the teaching team that use of e-learning was fully integrated with the face-to-face aspects of the courses. Previous research into the use of class web-sites in the school of Divinity showed that such an approach required an increase in support for students at the beginning of the course to prepare them technically for participating online. Introductory sessions could also be used to introduce the required history skills and to give students experience in using reliable www resources.

  • Integrating Technology in the Elementary Classroom
    So, your school has invested in technology and now you either have a new lab or new computers in your classroom. Maybe you've just gotten the Internet into your school. And now you're expected to use it! Great! Just one more thing we have to teach! Is the time, effort, and money really worth it? Do I believe that this will help my students become more successful learners?
    Top of Page
    Scavenger Hunts
    These links are included as examples of the kinds of scavenger hunts teachers can create to reflect the program being taught in their classrooms. Some can be used as presented. Some can be modified to suit particular needs. Some are quite good. Others probably reflect early attempts at using this idea.

    Theory and Practice on Integrating the Web for Learning
    by Tom March An updated version of this article is available through ozline's Web-and-Flow . Two new critical thinking formats have been added: the Concept Builder and the Insight Reflector.
    This article builds on the notions set out in an earlier article, "What's on the Web?"
    published in the July / August 1995 Computer-Using Educators' Newsletter
      Theory: an Introduction In 1995, "What's on the Web?," was written with the goal of scanning the Web for what might be useful to teachers and students. The "might be useful" was not individual stellar Web sites, but a broader contextual framework to cyberspace: if not exactly defining the universe, I hoped to at least mark out that some things are galaxies, a few constellations, and many are stars radiating their own special light. Books entitled such things as "Explore the Unleashed World Wide Web in 7 Days for Dummies/Educators" list tens of thousands of "Killer Web sites," implicitly suggesting that once you get a handle on these you'll have "done" the Web. But this is akin to getting access to the Library of Congress and being handed a piece of paper listing someone's Top Ten Favorite Books. Oh yes, and the library's collection doubles in size every three months. So, it's not the titles that are needed, it's the structure, the organization, the forest for the trees.
      Zen in the Art of Teaching with the Web
        It's a lot like what you're already doing.
