The johari window -benefits to
The Johari's Window was introduced and conceived by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham and also was used in an information session at the Western Training Laboratory in Group Development in 1955. The word 'JOHARI ? is derived from the names of them. (JOSEPH LUFT, HARRY INGHAM = JOHARI).
As an ESL teacher, this conceptual model can be used and implemented for describing, evaluating and predicting aspects of interpersonal communication especially during teaching and learning activities in the classrooms as it gives us the opportunity to explore and understand ourselves and those around us (students).

A person in this pane, only reveal to people he/she trust or rely on. This area is particularly useful in order to protect confidential items such one's secret.
