Dear .............................................................

This Language Portfolio is your property. It has been designed to help you

improve your language learning. It will accompany you throughout your school

life and will help you document your learning both inside and outside theclassroom.

The Language Portfolio contains material which you can use and then keep as a

record of your learning. In this portfolio you can also include any extra

material given by your teacher, throughout the course. However, the final

decision of what to include in the Language Portfolio is completely up to you.

In practice, Language Portfolios may include project or other examples of

written work, computer diskettes (with some work or drawings completed

inside or outside the class), videocassettes (with your favourite story or with

performances of songs, school plays, etc), certificates, reports from your

teachers, or even a collection of objects or pictures.

Here is a short explanation of each section in your Language Portfolio:

I. Language Passport

This is an updated report of your progress in English language learning.You

will include in this section any evidence of your formal qualifications

(certificates,diplomas),tests, progress report cards, self-assessment cards, etc.

II. Language Biography

This is an updated record of your personal language learning history which

helps you evaluate your learning aims, and reflect on your language learning

and inter-cultural experiences.

III. Dossier

This is a collection of your work which you have chosen to illustrate your

language skills, experiences and achievements in the English language. In this

section of your Language Portfolio there is some material you can use.You canalso file any work you do inside or outside the classroom that you would like to

keep as evidence of your work in English in the Extra Activities section.

We hope you really enjoy doing these activities.
