Effectiveness of WebQuest in Improving Metacognitive Awareness in English Writing

摘要

Under the guidance of WebQuest theory and constructivist learning theory, the experimenter has designed the three-month WebQuest-based metacognitive strategy learning activity and made it into practice, which ultimately proves that integrating WebQuest construction into metacognitive strategy learning steps is feasible and it is possible for learners to participate into the construction of WebQuest. Furthermore.WebQuests work more effectively than what traditional extracurricular activities do in strategy learning especially in the evaluating steps and extending steps, hence, enhances learners' ability to plan, adjust, and evaluate their own writing and also improves students' English writing preference and performance.
