CONCLUSION
This WebQuest has introduced learners to an English-speaking country,
familiarising them with its geography, climate, touristic features and
lifestyle, by means of English-language resources on the WWW.
They have had to collaborate to carry out an interview, to write and
compile an informative brochure, as well as work individually on postcard
writing skills in English, requiring original synthesis and organization
of data. They have also engaged self-appraisal skills.
