Screenshoot of the cover

This article is about the benefits of reading or writing in the classroom for children. The benefits of reading or writing can be a valuable tool for learning because when students read and write, let alone on the internet, can also be a valuable learning tool for students to seek information and apply them in learning such as WebQuest. WebQuests is an internet-based technology application where students follow the steps to complete a task on a particular subject or a multi-disciplinary subject. WebQuests are popular in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) reading and writing because they provide learners with authentic and collaborative tasks.

This study conducts tests on students to see how helpful the internet medium is in learning. Testing is done with two groups, the first group is the group WebQuest and the second group is the traditional group.

As a result, the WebQuest group scored higher in post-test reading than in traditional groups. This is statistically significant

Differences are an indication that students benefit academically from using WebQuest in reading
