  1. EUROPEAN LANGUAGE PORTFOLIO

  2. “There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self."Aldous Huxley (English writer)

  3. The European Language Portfolio (ELP), devised by the Council of Europe's Modern Languages Division and piloted in 15 Council of Europe member states between 1998 and 2000, has been launched throughout Europe during 2001, the European Year of Languages. DEVELOPMENT

  4. What is the purpose of the European Language Portfolio (ELP)? The ELP is designed to: • encourage the lifelong learning of languages, to any level of proficiency; • make the learning process more transparent and to develop the learner's ability to assess his/her own competence; • facilitate mobility within Europe by providing a clear profile of the owner's language skills; • contribute to mutual understanding within Europe by promoting plurilingualism (the ability to communicate in two or more languages) and intercultural learning.

  5. What are the obligatory components of European Language Portfolio (ELP)?

  6. How is the European Language Portfolio (ELP) to be used? Owners of all ages can use the ELP to: • keep a record of all their language learning, whether it takes place inside or outside the educational system; • develop their capacity to plan, monitor and evaluate their own learning; • record significant intercultural experiences; • collect evidence of their language skills; • document their language learning achievements.

  7. Language Portfolio (ELP) and the Council of Europe's common reference levels The Common European Framework divides learners into three broad divisions which can be divided into six levels: • A Basic Speaker A1 Breakthrough A2 Waystage • B Independent Speaker B1 Threshold B2 Vantage • C Proficient Speaker C1 Effective Operational Proficiency C2 Mastery The CEFR describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in reading, listening, speaking and writing at each level.

  8. FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS A portfolio helps to make the students' learning progress and process visible and noticeable. FOR TEACHERS A portfolio may lead to increased participation and autonomy on the learners' part. WHAT ARE THE KEY ADVANTAGES OF USING A PORTFOLIO?
