Abstract
Introduction
The proposed study aimed at investigating the effect of WebQuest
strategy on developing English functional communicative skills for English
majors at the Faculty of Education, October 6 University. This involves
accomplishing the following two objectives:
1- Develop English functional communicative skills at the Faculty of
Education, October 6 University.
2- Identify the effect of WebQuest strategy on developing English
functional communicative skills for EFL majors at the Faculty of
Education, October 6 University.
Based on the objectives stated above, the current study
attempted to answer the following questions:
1- What are the required English functional communicative skills for
English majors at the Faculty of Education, October 6 University?
2- What are the features of the proposed WebQuest strategy course to
develop English functional communicative skills for English majors at
the Faculty of Education, October 6 University?
3- What is the effect of WebQuest strategy on developing English
functional communicative skills for English majors at the Faculty of
Education, October 6 University?
The present study tested the following Hypotheses;
- There is no a statistically significant difference between the mean scores
of the experimental and the control groups on the pre-administration of
the test of English functional communicative skills.
- There is also a statistically significant difference between the mean
scores of both the experimental group and the control group on the
post-administration of the English functional communicative skills test
in favor of the experimental group.334
- There is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of
the experimental group on the pre and post administrations of English
functional communicative skills test in favor of the post administration.
Instruments of the Study
- A pre-post EFL communicative functions skills test to measure the
communicative functions skills of both the experimental and control
groups before and after the treatment.
- An evaluation scoring rubric to score students’ communicative functions
performance on the pre and post administrations of the EFL
communicative functions test.
Results of the Study
The results showed the effectiveness of the proposed treatment in
developing the experimental group students’ English functional
communicative skills. The study results showed that there was a
statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the control
and the experimental group on English functional communicative skills
test, in favor of the experimental group in English functional
communicative skills. Moreover, the results reflected the progress of the
experimental group in the post administration of English functional
communicative skills test.
The results of the study in general revealed that the sample of the study
excelled in average scores of measuring effectiveness of WebQuest
strategy (WB) on development of English functional communicative skills
in the post administration of English functional communicative skills test.
The study concluded the following:
1- ” There is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores
of the experimental and the control groups in the post administration of
English functional communicative skills test in favor of the
experimental group”.
2- ” Average gain rate of skills obtained via application of WebQuest
strategy in developing English functional communicative skills for the
experimental group which in turn reassures its effectiveness and
validity.
