Webquest is an educational technology, with the help of which students of higher schools using Internet resources can learn more about the subject-matter. Webquest has the well-defined structure and is aimed at inquiry and cognitive activities of students. An experiment was conducted in two student groups to collate teaching using webquest with the traditional one. Despite the students of both groups had equal level of foreign language competence, and the control group with traditional instruction enjoyed the topic a lot, the experimental group showed better results. Obviously, a webquest-based technology led to significant progress in subject-matter understanding versus customary instruction.
