Thanks Vance,

I am trying design some. Could you share some WQs for academic 
writing, especially for ESL? I got stuck with ideas of what (academic) 
scenario I can create. Thanks

Agus

Hello Vance!
Bernie Dodge gave a conference about Webquests on June 28
http://center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/NECC2005/program/search_results_details.php?sessionid=8598345

Is there someone who knows where we can listen to the record? (or read 
a summary?)
Regards
Christine

Agus,

Bernie's new portal is at
http://webquest.org/
There you will find quite a number of quests.
He  has launched a new tool (which he launched at NECC) for creating 
webquests which will be available as from September 1st.

You can also check templates for Webquests developed in the UK at:
http://www.aclearn.net/content/toolkits/webquests/
and I believe Nellie Deutsch has also quite a number of them catalogued

Warm regards from Brazil,

Hi all, trying in vain to reach
http://www.aclearn.net/content/toolkits/webquests/ to read more on
webquests. 

There is a site http://www.esperanzaeterna.com/ where aclearn is
introduced but I can't seem to reach the actual website.

Anybody knows how?
Regards,

Hi, Agus, and welcome!

Though I haven't updated my EFL Page in quite some time, you may find 
something useful in it under WebQuests.
http://wwwin.malhatlantica.pt/teresadeca/school/efl-eslpage.htm

I will try to update it this summer.

Dear Agus--

Welcome to  Webheads--I see your request has unearthed
some good resources. I copied this response to you
personally also, so you may get it twice.

I run a YG for academic writing--

<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/academic_writing/>

You can be a moderator and add your students to use
any of the materials there. 

Among the links in the folder Additional Fun, Exciting
Activities! are several Webquests that are ready to
use. One on grammar is
<http://imet.csus.edu/imet5/koreen/imetsites/282/student/index.htm>

You can also go to the original WebQuest page and look
at the ESL/EFL WebQuests in the TOP and NEW matrices
for ADULTS at
<http://webquest.org/>
(The WebQuest page doesn't seem organized very well,
but that's how it is.)

I think the Webpage Culture Capsules would also be
really appropriate, though they are not WebQuests, per
se. This link is also in the Additional Fun, Exciting
Activities! folder:
<http://www.lclark.edu/~krauss/tesol2001cultcaps/home.html>

You can also join the teachers' group for Academic
Writing at
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Acwriting_Teachers/>

where currently I am doing a short course for EFL
academic writing instructors. The syllabus so far is
on the front page.

Cheers--
--Elizabeth

Hello Dan,

Bernie Dodge's Webquest Matrix offers quite a number of webquests to 
develop 
professional skills:
http://webquest.org/search/webquestresults.php?grade=gradeadult&curr=currprof&statuslevel=3

Some time ago I produced a foodquest for EFL/ESL (some parts are still 
missing). My students enjoyed it and I have had echoes from people 
using it 
with catering groups who needed practice in English. It would need lots 
of 
re-structuring and complementing though.

Check out whether this is what you have in mind

Hope this helps.
Warm regards from Brazil,
Bee
