in the assessment process

The European Language Portfolio (ELP) and the
Common European Framework of Reference for
Languages (CEFR) were first proposed at a Council of
Europe (CoE) symposium in 1991. They were intended to
complement each other and provide a way of teaching
and assessing all languages in Europe.
It is our personal folder or document that certifies
the progress we have made in the language and the
culture of one or more languages.
What is it?

What does it consist of?How does it help students ?
Language Passport to show which languages they know to show what they know and can do inLanguages.Language Biography to keep a record of their progress in learning
languages. to record how they learn languagesLanguage Dossier to keep some examples of work they've donein languages.

Two Functions of Portfolio
The Pedagogical Function: to identify their learning aims, to make action plans, to reflect, monitor and modify the processes, and to evaluate the outcomes, through self-assessment and reflection. Thus, they become autonomous and responsible language learners, a pedagogical function, consistent with the CoE's interest in promoting autonomy and lifelong learning.
The Reporting Function: Provides a record of their language skills and cultural experiences by relating their communicative skills to the proficiency levels, according to the CEF.

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?
![Page 8: The Common European Framework and the European Language Portfolio (ELP):](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56814f51550346895dbcf5d5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why use it?
To help students: Self assess and reflect on their progress. Become autonomous and life-long learners. Provide a record of their language skills and cultural
experiences. Develop an assessment culture in language
learning.

When should I start it and for how long?
We recommend starting it from the third grade. One teaching session per week or two weeks is enough. We recommend using it during the whole school year.
A new team for adapting and piloting the current version for 2nd graders will be formed in October 2013.

2. Language Passport (p.p. 2-3)
Make the activities more communicative
![Page 13: The Common European Framework and the European Language Portfolio (ELP):](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56814f51550346895dbcf5d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
3. Create a poster of your students’ language profiles
![Page 14: The Common European Framework and the European Language Portfolio (ELP):](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56814f51550346895dbcf5d5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
4. Use Dialang
You can download Dialang.DIALANG is a language diagnosis system
developed by many European higher education institutions. It reports your level of skill against the Common European Framework (CEF) for language learning. DIALANG is not an exam. DIALANG does not issue certificates.http://www.lancs.ac.uk/researchenterprise/dialang/about

5. We recommend…
Before your students begin an activity, write a descriptor from the ELP on the board:
For a writing activity“I can write a text that has a beginning, a course
of actions/plot, and an ending and can use linking words like “first”, “after that”, “later”, and “because”.
Focusing on the descriptor constitutes the first ELP-related practice in which the teacher aims to raise students’ awareness of the aim of the task and the strategies or structures they need to use to achieve it.

6. Language Biography (pp. 2-16)
Make the activities more communicative. You can make a project and add it in the
dossier section.

7. How can I learn more?
There is a website for the ELP, developed by the piloting team:
http://eltaaelp.wikispaces.com You will get an email invitation to join the website. Accept it
and create a username and password to view the material.

8. Teacher ReflectionReflection is a process that begins with looking
back on a situation, pondering over it, learning from it and then using the new knowledge to help you in future similar situations.
