A LETTER FOR YOU
5
Dear ............................................................., (your name)
This Language Portfolio is your property. It has been designed to help you improve your
language learning. It will accompany you throughout your school life and will help you
document your learning both inside and outside the classroom.
The Language Portfolio contains material which you can use and then keep as a record of
your learning. In this portfolio you can also include any extra material given by your
teacher, throughout the course. However, the final decision of what to include in the
Language Portfolio is completely up to you.
In practice, Language Portfolios may include a project or other examples of written work,
computer diskettes (with work or drawings completed inside or outside the class), video
cassettes (with your favourite story or performances of songs, school plays, etc),
certificates, reports from your teachers, or even a collection of objects or pictures.
Here is a short explanation of each section in your Language Portfolio:
I. Language Passport
This is an updated report of your progress in English language learning. In this section
you will include any evidence of your formal qualifications (certificates, diplomas), tests,
progress report cards, self-assessment cards, etc.
II. Language Biography
This is an updated record of your personal language-learning history which helps you
evaluate your learning aims and reflect on your language-learning and inter-cultural
experiences.
III. Dossier
This is a collection of your work which you have chosen in order to illustrate your
language skills, experiences and achievements in the English language. In this section of
your Language Portfolio there is some material you can use. You can also file any work
you do inside or outside the classroom that you would like to keep as evidence of your
work in English.
We hope you really enjoy doing these activities.

How to organise your Language Portfolio
In your Language Portfolio you can include almost anything you have produced or collected that
proves your progress in English. We suggest you keep your work in plastic envelopes so that it
remains in good condition.
In practice, your Language Portfolio can be in any shape or size according to the material you
choose to store.
Your Language Portfolio can include any of the following:
videocassettes
drawings
schoolreports
poems
audiocassettes
tests
cards
posters
Here you can record all your achievements in the English language. You can include
certificates, diplomas, progress report cards, self-assessment forms, tests, etc. In general, you
can include anything that is proof of your competence in English.
Every time you add something, record it on your Language Passport Chart.
