Abstract

In this article, we present the design of a mixed course and results of its implementation, where a WebQuest-Wiki Project mediates the development of collaborative writing skills in the pre-service language teachers. The objective of the design is to promote the development of digital literacy, metadiscourse and metacognition, through the task of collaboratively writing a documentary research article about a topic of interest in their academic area. The observations of the actions, strategies and processes, together with the course evaluation questionnaire, allowed estimating that the WebQuest activity was motivating and useful for reading and the digital skills, followed by the Wiki activity, which allowed for the collaborative practice of writing. This type of design promotes the students’ engagement into an authentic research and collaborative writing task, which increases their knowledge and their dispositions for the academic work.
