REPORTING * enables people of all ages todevelop their capacity to plan, monitor and evaluate their own learning; to record significant intercultural experiences; to collect evidence of their language skills; to document their language learning achievements and thus become self-managing. PEDAGOGICAL * helps the individual teachers and the educational institutions to describe their courses and certificates more clearly by relating them to the Council of Europe's common reference levels.

  19. Evaluation of ELP • for any language, it enables an evaluation to be carried out in terms that are clear, comprehensible, non-prescriptive and transnational, and that fully embrace the wide diversity of approaches to language teaching and learning as well as the multiplicity of evaluations which exist in Europe.

  20. The "Reporting function" of the ELP also has an important role to play in the university context, particularly with regard to admission examinations, participation in mobility programmes, entry into postgraduate studies, recognition of studies carried out in foreign universities, or of other types of language experience including visits abroad or professional placements in foreign countries.’ Piloting the European Language Portfolio in the Higher Education Sector: An ELC/CEL transnational project, Forster Vosicki B.: Université de Lausanne, CH, http://www.fu-berlin.de/elc/bulletin/6/en/forster.html
