A webquest is a useful tool for making the students aware of the use of the English language in
a globalized context.

A webquest is really helpful for teachers to innovate and contextualize tasks in order to
improve

By doing this webquest Ss will learn about other places and cultures,
increasing in this way their level of English, by learning new words, and
encouraging them to keep learning about other realities. Moreover, they
will be able to present their work to the class, practicing in this way their oral skills.

facilities for 4 people. (ex: flights, transportation, hotels, restaurants,
