Abstract The study aimed at investigating the effect of a WebQuest-Based Program (WQBP) on developing the EFL listening and speaking skills of General Secondary School Students and their Self-Regulation (SR).The participants of the study were Forty (40) Second Year General Secondary School Students from Temay AlAmdid Secondary School,Dakahliya,Egypt. The study adopted the quasi-experimental research design.So there were two groups: an experimental group (n= 20) and a control one (n= 20).To collect data,the researcher used multiple instruments: a listening sub-skills checklist,a speaking sub-skills checklist,a computer and Internet Skills Survey to choose the sample,two pre posttests of listening and speaking,a speaking assessment rubric, Pintrich et al’s (1991 & 1993) Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ),and a reflection log for students to evaluate and reflect upon the program.The researcher taught both groups: the experimental group was taught through the WQBP while the control group was taught through the traditional way of teaching. The results of the study revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group in the listening and speaking skills in addition to self-regulation in favor of the experimental group. The effect size of the webquest program was found to be high. The study recommends using the webquest as a technique in teaching EFL skills and as a training approach in professional development programs of EFL teachers. |
