Activity 3: Portfolio

What is a portfolio in Language learning?

It is a collection of individual students’ work put together in a file or ring binder. It belongs to the student and can be updated as language learning continues by adding to and taking away pieces of work. 

How does a portfolio contribute to the learning or a language?

Portfolios are a popular and effective way of motivating young learners, providing a fun way to review language and helping them to reflect on their own objectives, ways of learning and success.

How do we assess a portfolio?

It gives a history of the learners’ language learning experiences, which in this case refers to learning English.
