Abstract
The main aim of the study was investigating the impact of a WebQuest-based training program on developing the teaching Skills of in-service Preparatory EFL Teachers. The three EFL teaching skills under investigation, based on the results of the teaching Survey, were: conveying clear rules and expectations regarding students’ behavior at appropriate times; monitoring students’ behavior carefully and dealing with misbehavior with positive and negative reinforcement; and using information and communications technology (ICT) as a management tool. The quasi-experimental design of the study depended on the voluntary basis of choosing the group of the study, which consisted of twenty EFL in-service teachers. Instruments used were a Knowledge test and a teacher performance assessment analytic Rubric. The Results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of the treatment group on the pre-post administrations of the Knowledge test and the analytic Rubric in favor of the post ones which indicated that the WebQuest-based training program was effective in developing teachers’ knowledge and performance of the specified teaching skills. The WebQuest was an excellent tool in delivering the program.
