IVAN, Jan
The bachelor thesis deals with WebQuests and their use in English language teaching. The theoretical part of the thesis defines the concept of a WebQuest and describes its origin, criteria for its creation, their recommended structure, and types of WebQuests. More specifically, it also describes how WebQuests help to develop language skills in the areas of communication, reading, writing, and listening. The practical part of this bachelor thesis includes four English WebQuests designed for the 8th and 9th grade students of elementary school. The WebQuests are in a suitable form for teaching as they contain instructions for the students and basic instructions for the teachers along with the assessment criteria. WebQuests are created in four different software applications and all of them are in English. To check the appropriateness of the language level of these WebQuests, I cooperated with my sister, who is the age of the target group of students. The topics of the created WebQuests are based on common life situations that the students may encounter, which increases their motivation to learn. An important element of these WebQuests is the interdisciplinary overlap and the development of language and other skills that can be used in real life.
