CONCLUSION

This WebQuest has introduced learners to an English-speaking country, familiarising them with its geography, climate, touristic features and life style, by means of English-language resources on the WWW. They have had to collaborate to design and present an original itinerary, as well as work individually on letter and postcard writing skills in English, requiring original synthesis and organization of data. They have also engaged self-appraisal skills.
