A letter for you
Dear ............................................................., (your name)
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 the classroom.
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), video cassettes (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:
II LLaanngguuaaggee PPaassssppoorrtt
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.
IIII LLaanngguuaaggee BBiiooggrraapphhyy
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.
IIIIII DDoossssiieerr
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 can
also file any work you do inside or outside the classroom that you would like to
keep as evidence of your work in English.
We hope you really enjoy doing these activities.

How to organise your Language Portfolio
You can include in your Language Portfolio almost anything you have produced or collected that
proves your progress in English. We suggest you keep your work in plastic envelopes so that it
remains in a good condition.
In practice, your Language Portfolio can be in any shape or size according to the material you
choose to store.
Your Language Portfolio can include any of the following:
7
I. Language Passport
Here you can record all your achievements in the English language. You can include certificates,
diplomas, progress report cards, self-assessment forms, tests, etc. In general, you can include
anything that is proof of your competence in English.
Every time you add something, record it on your Language Passport Chart.
