The students, a total of 63 in three classes, were given a pretest prior to using WebQuests and a posttest six weeks later. Results indicate that the experimental group outperformed the control group. There were significant differences in favor of the experimental group in terms of vocabulary, grammar, organization, content, length, and total overall score. This study suggests the use of technology in foreign language learning can lead to greater writing achievement among students.
