Description	Journal: International Journal of Educational Research This article reports the findings of an exploratory study involving the development and implementation of a WebQuest-based critical-thinking programme in Hong Kong primary English classrooms. Using ‘design research’ as its methodological framework, the study investigated the critical-thinking performance of 125 primary school students. Sociocultural discourse analysis of classroom dialogue during programme implementation revealed the participating students to have engaged in explicit reasoning and used ‘exploratory talk’ as a dialogic tool in exercising critical thinking. The study has profound implications for pedagogical practice with respect to the use of educational technology for critical-thinking cultivation. This article thus makes significant contributions to the WebQuest and critical-thinking literature, extending it to the Hong Kong language education context and beyond.
