摘要：WebQuests are online activities especially suitable for a content-based ESP course aimed at developing learner’s autonomy and multiliteracies. They are inquiry-based activities in which learners need to complete a task by interacting with and transforming information coming primarily from resources on the Internet. The goal of this paper is to suggest ways to enhance the WebQuest concept for effective ESP learning. For this purpose, the paper focuses on three objectives that the design of WebQuests for ESP should seek to meet: (i) helping students acquire the knowledge and develop the skills necessary to communicate effectively within their disciplinary community; (ii) helping students develop skills for lifelong and autonomous learning; (iii) fostering the development of new literacies and training students in the active and strategic processes of meaning construction that they will need in order to understand and produce the high variety of texts of society today.
