EUROPEAN LANGUAGE PORTFOLIO

WHAT IS THE EUROPEAN LANGUAGE PORTFOLIO?It is a document in which those who are learning or have learned a language can record their language learning and cultural experiences. It is addressed to and is the property of the learner.


All competence is valued, regardless of whether it is gained inside or outside of formal education.

The European Language Portfolio is property of the learner.
It is linked to the Comom European Framework of References for Languages.
A set of common principles and guidelines have been agreed for all Portfolios.

The portfolio contains a language passport which its owner regularly updates. A grid is provided where his/her language competences can be described according to common criteria accepted throughout Europe and which can serve as a complement to customary certificates. The document also contains a detailed language biography describing the owner's experiences in each language and which is designed to guide the learner in planning and assessing progress. Finally, there is a dossier where examples of personal work can be kept to illustrate one's language competences.

3 Parts of a Language Portfolio

Language Passport
The Passport section provides an overview of the individual's proficiency in different languages at a given point in time; the overview is defined in terms of skills and the common reference levels in the Common European Framework; it records formal qualifications and describes language competencies and significant language and intercultural learning experiences; it includes information on partial and specific competence


Language Biography
The Language Biography facilitates the learner's involvement in planning, reflecting upon and assessing his or her learning process and progress; it encourages the learner to state what he/she can do in each language and to include information on linguistic and cultural experiences gained in and outside formal educational contexts; it is organised to promote plurilingualism i.e. the development of competencies in a number of languages.


Dossier
The Dossier offers the learner the opportunity to select materials to document and illustrate achievements or experiences recorded in the Language Biography or Passport.
