In this article, it is pretended to demonstrate how the hypertext could be worked through the use of the Key Competence approach. I start defining what a social task is, and which benefits it provides to the learning process of the learners. Moreover, I introduce the Webquest as a powerful ICT tool to be included in a social task and carry out contextualized learning situations where students can focus on the development of the digital competence and the linguistic competence. Thus, I have included a real example of a social task through a Webquest developed by a team of students from my Faculty of Education.
