A utilização de recursos e de ferramentas tecnológicas no ensino de Língua Inglesa tem contribuído para uma prática pedagógica mais próxima à realidade dos estudantes. No entanto, nem todos os professores encontram possibilidades ou têm condições de utilizar ferramentas midiáticas para o preparo de suas aulas e isso decorre de diversos fatores, por exemplo, falta de formação para o uso das TIC, falta de recursos nas escolas, entre outros. Esta pesquisa tem por objetivos discutir a aplicação da ferramenta webquest em turmas do Ensino Médio de duas escolas particulares, situadas no Norte do Paraná, bem como apontar as percepções dos alunos sobre o uso dessa ferramenta na disciplina de Língua Inglesa e verificar se a realização da atividade contribuiu para a melhoria na formação dos alunos. Para isso, utilizou-se a pesquisa descritiva bibliográfica, de campo e analítica. Como resultados, constatou-se que houve apreensão do conteúdo disposto por meio da webquest, bem como a percepção de que esse recurso se mostrou eficaz no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de Língua Inglesa. O fato de se propor um novo método para ensinar um conteúdo resultou em mudanças na rotina da sala de aula, mas proporcionou novas experiências aos alunos, fazendo com que tivessem mais autonomia e estivessem no foco de sua aprendizagem, ou seja, trazer recursos tecnológicos para a sala de aula, para ensinar Língua Inglesa, trouxe resultados positivos, tanto para os alunos quanto para o professor.Palavras-chave: Webquest.
