Аннотация

Abstract: In the rapidly evolving digital learning environment, WebQuest has emerged as a powerful educational tool to enhance student engagement and foster independent learning. This paper explores the effectiveness of using WebQuest in improving writing skills among secondary school students. Drawing on theoretical and empirical findings, the study investigates how WebQuest can be integrated into writing instruction to support learners in generating ideas, structuring texts, and refining grammatical accuracy. Through a month-long experimental study with control and experimental groups, the research found that students who engaged with WebQuest tasks demonstrated greater improvements in writing fluency, creativity, and task engagement compared to those taught using traditional methods. The findings suggest that WebQuest-based learning can be a meaningful alternative to conventional classroom instruction for enhancing writing proficiency at the secondary level.
