The Common European Framework and the European Language Portfolio: involving learners and their judgements in the assessment process David Little (Trinity College Dublin)
Reasons why learners should be engaged in self-assessment Participation of learners in decisions about the curriculum and the curriculum outcomes. Learners should be aware of tasks they can perform in L2 and set new goals. Learners can turn occasions of L2 use into opportunities for further language learning.
Questions learners should ask and answer to achieve self-assessment What are we learning? Why are we learning it? How are we learning it? With how much success? What are going to learn next?
Forms of self-assessment 10-point scale where 1=nothing and 10=everything. Portfolio learning and assessment.
Contribution of Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and European Language Portfolio (ELP) Development of assessment culture in the learning process.
Standards set by the CERF C Level A Level B Level C2 C1 B1 A2 B2 A1
The ELP obligatory components A language passport, in other words the owner’s linguistic identity. A language biography, that is the owner’s most important linguistic experie-nces. A dossier, a selection of the owner’s personal work.
The ELP limitations • Self-assessment instruments of ELP focus on incidental, subjunctive criteria that one sets for oneself. • A trap may be the idea that a level has been achieved on the basis of one or two tasks only.
