But we haven’t done any listenings this year! You didn’t tell us Reported Speech was in the exam! ¿? What’s a formal letter? What do we have to do in the oral exam? I never got THAT photocopy! Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility Mmm … maybe … but I don’t know where it is now The dog ate it
CoE ELP PEL MRE CEF ¿? *European Languge Portfolio *Marco de referencia europeo *Portfolio Europeo de Lenguas *Council of Europe *Common European Framework Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility
1991 Council of Europe Symposium • in Rúschlikon decided to … - develop a extrensive, coherent and transparent REFERENCE GRID to describe communicative language competences Common European Framework (CEF) Marco Común Europea de referencia para las lenguas (MRE) Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility - investigate a EUROPEAN LANGUAGE PORTFOLIO in which individuals could enter their experiences and qualifications in the area of modern foreign langugages European Language Portfolio (ELP) … PEL in Spanish.
It doesn’t have the sexiest title in the world – but I believe the CEF is one of the most important documents about language teaching in living memory. Keith Morrow Etp, Sept. 2004 Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility
“The portfolio project is designed to support European integration and the mobility of European citizens by providing users with a tool which not only allows them to record formal learning but also provides a means of recording other ways in which languages may be learnt or developed.” Council of Europe documentation Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility
For me, the ELP (which stemmed from the CEF), is and will be one of the most important instruments for universal language learning in living memory. Annie McDonald Etp Nov. 2004 Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility
PASSPORT: Official and non-official documentations and records of competencies / achievements BIOGRAPHY: Linguistic / cultural description of personal experiences learning and using language. Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility DOSSIER: Collected samples of work and progress
An initial experiment: ¿? Let’s have a think … what are we doing? Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility ¿?
A further experiment: ¿? What can you do at the end of the course? Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility ¿?
Let’s do some thinking here too! Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility ¿?
A full-blown experiment: ¿? What can we do throughout a course? Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility ¿?
oEveryone felt that regular reflection and collection of work is a good idea. oStudents can often take pride in it and it can encourage a sense of responsibility. oThose who haven’t done the work have this clearly stated to them. Teachers have their back covered! oNice way to end year with material to take home. Good marketing. Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility
SS like the idea that at end of the year they have a record of what they’ve done There is a section where the students give their personal opinion on the class and this feedback helps me. I think the parents of these students will be interested in the portfolios … I think it was very useful for them to look back at what we’ve done … particularly before exams Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility I did it in November than forgot all about it until recently. In hindsight it would have been useful to do it before I started Feb. Exam revision. If I used it more regularly, I’m sure it would be better
oCan be a lot of photocopying / maybe something simpler oYou do have to be consistent with it (long term project, builds up … can forget etc) oThere are many possible variations to suit ages, groups, teachers oPerhaps having parents see it and sign it might be a good idea.

Uncensored! Interestingly, most people don’t like the portfolio because it is very bored. What is more, all people in the class think that if you lost the portfolio you are happy. However, the portfolio is very important for all the people. In my opinion the portfolio helps you for work and you can pass a good time with it. Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility
Let’s do some thinking here too! ¿? Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility
A future experiment: ¿? Eportfolios? Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility ¿?
Conclusions: ¿? Many options The experiment is worth it Portfolios: A Collected Responsibility ¿?
