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.
