What is WebQuest?How does it support English teaching? 

WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. In another word, it is an online activity where a teacher gives out a quest and some certain websites for students to visit and gain answers or responses to the quest. 

WebQuest has been widely applied to many educational institutes, for example, universities (where the first WebQuest was created), high school, language schools. A WebQuest can be created using various programs, including a simple word processing document that includes links and website.
