Description The activity called KWLW helps us to provide structure and direction to our own learning in this class. To do so, we have to engage in a two-step process.
First, we identify what we already know (background knowledge) about EFL/ESL instruction and assessment (K column) and then we need to identify the areas about which we would like to gain more knowledge (W column). The class may not provide all the information that we want from it but the "W" column allows us to keep track as to areas in our own learning into which we can fit some of the information we are getting from the class.
After the class is over, we will complete the "L" column to reflect upon what we have learned and then the final "W" column to delineate the areas of explorations that we want to pursue beyond this class.
