Making Webquest for my Industrial Engineering students 1

This morning I feel so excited in preparing my class at the Industrial Engineering Study Program. Last week, I told my students that this week's class is going to be at the English dept laboratory. The lab's name is Rabindranath Tagore, maybe, the founders of my university intended to commemorate this famous poet by putting his name in the English dept which is now becomes the Faculty of Language and Arts. It is hoped that by naming the lab, students will be interested more in studying literature as the English Study is heading for.
Back to preparing my students of the Industrial Engineering, I intend to give them insights that English for Industrial Engineering is as important as other subjects in their field. By having a mastery in English, it will be easier for them to read books, article and journals which are written in English. Thinking that encouraging my students to involve more in studying English (for Industrial Engineering) is not easy, I, then, try to use Webquest as a tool to make them interested and motivated in studying English. I opened www.zunal.com to create my own Webquest on how to introduce the branches of engineering and give them some insights on how to make a right decision on the engineering field they have chosen
www.zunal.com is a very easy and free site to create Webquest. All we have to do is just register and log in after we have the confirmation. Then there will be some steps in creating our own Webquest. It is easy and all we need is the Internet connection. Some parts in the steps are easy to follow. Just click the link and 'voila'...there the Webquest. We can add some link such as Youtube Video, pictures, articles, and even songs. Students can just do the task that is written in the Webquest while enjoying their study as Webquest is a very interactive and interesting as it contains films, songs, and other things that make studying English more enjoyable.
I will write in my next blog on how to create our own Webquest by using zunal.com. Now, I will go back to my own job and I will write the continued process in creating Webquest tomorrow.
Thanks for reading!
