What is KWL- Plus technique?
KWL-Plus Technique, by Carr and Ogle (1987), is a good technique to teach students to read and think especially in analytical thinking skills. I bring KWL- Plus technique into my English class for my M.6/2. They are enthusiastic to learn it.
K comes from "What you Know. It means the background knowledge which students
have about the passage they are going to read.
W comes from "What you want to know". Students will predict or ask questions to
guess things they will read.
L is from "What you have learned" After students read the passage, they have the
note-taking.
Plus means Mind Mapping and Summarizing. Students will categorize the information
from L and create the mind mapping. Then they summarize the passage by using the
information from mind mapping.
Next time I will talk about "How to teach your students with KWL-Plus Technique".

Professional Thai EnglishTeacher
Hello,
My name is Kanchana Arnold. I am a Thai teacher who has been teaching English for many years. As we know, it is very difficult to teach Thai students to have the competence to communicate in English. We know there are some factors which obstruct learning. Anyway, I, a Thai English teacher, have never stopped the effort to help my students.
Besides teaching my students to achieve English, I am in the process of doing research to teach them to learn analytical thinking skills by using the KWL-Plus technique. Everything is going well and I will finish my job soon.
Here is some information about my research.
Topic: The Development of Analytical Thinking Skills for English Course of the Twelfth Grade Students By Using KWL-Plus Technique
Purpose: 1. to develop and assess the efficiency of the analytical thinking skills
lesson plans of KWL-Plus technique 2. to develop analytical thinking skills for English course of the twelfth grade students by using KWL-Plus technique 3. to study the students' opinions towards the instruction with KWL-Plus technique
The Research Results: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, this is my job. Do you think it's amazing? I feel so proud of it because I create it from my heart. I 'd like my students to be smart. We combine our effort together.
Not long, I will tell you about the results of this research.
By the way, I 'd like to share my job with all of you. Please contact me for more information or give me your comment.
Best Wishes,
Mrs.Kanchana Arnold
