Teacher’s note:
English classes are designed to prepare today's
students for the tomorrow in which they will need to function in varied
contexts. This is accomplished through the incorporation of the five national
standards: communication, culture, comparisons, connections, and communities
("Foreign Language Standards," 1998). Each of these is essential to
the study of a language, and they must all be addressed.
Technology is an essential component that is needed to prepare today's
student for tomorrow. "Technology encompasses the tools and strategies for
solving problems, using information, increasing productivity, and enhancing
personal growth" ("Foreign Language Standards," 1998). The
technology standards are designed to give students the skills they need to
function at a personal and professional level in society ("Technology
Standards").
Just as no two learners acquire knowledge in the exact same way, all of
the standards should not be approached in the same way. Technology is one
strategy that can be incorporated with the teaching of the foreign language
standards. This strategy (technology) is further supported in the foreign
language standards. "Students will need to use technologies that will
bring the language and the culture to them in new ways and enhance their
opportunities to learn" ("Foreign Language Standards"). Through
combining technology and the study of the English language into a webquest, students will find out that Great Britain can be a perfect
holiday destination, shatter the stereotypes of the boring British and gain skills in technology
and English that will help them today and prepare them for tomorrow.
Final thought:
This webquest will be used with
