Tue, 22 Nov 2005 09:33:42 -0800

 The European Language Portofolio, devised by the Council of Europe's Modern Languages Division and piloted in 15 Council of Europe member states between 1998 and 2000 has been launched throughout Europe during 2001, the European Year of Languages.
The European Language Portfolio is a tool to accompany your learning of languages throughout your adult life developed by the Council of Europe and popularized by International Forum through the EuroIntegrELP programme funded by Lingua 1 in partnership with AEGEE-Timisoara. It has been introduced to stimulate and support the learning of languages and it is suitable for documenting your learning both inside and outside the classroom.
PARTS OF THE ELP
The ELP has 3 sections: the Language Passport, the Language Biography and the Dossier
The Language Passport section provides an overview of the individual’s proficiency in different languages at a given point in time; the overview is defined in terms of skills and the common reference levels in the Common European Framework; it records formal qualifications and describes language competencies and significant language and intercultural learning experiences; it includes information on partial and specific competence; it allows: self-assessment, teacher assessment and assessment by educational institutions and examinations boards; it requires that information entered in the Passport states on what basis, when and by whom the assessment was carried out. To facilitate pan-European recognition and mobility a standard presentation of a Passport Summary is promoted by the Council of Europe for ELPs for adults.
The Language Biography facilitates the learner’s involvement in planning, reflecting upon and assessing his or her learning process and progress; it encourages the learner to state what he/she can do in each language and to include information on linguistic and cultural experiences gained in and outside formal educational contexts; it is organized to promote plurilingualism, i.e. the development of competencies in a number of languages.
The Dossier offers the learner the opportunity to select materials to document and illustrate achievements or experiences recorded in the Language Biography or Passport.
 
The ELP is designed to
  • is a tool to promote plurilingualism and pluriculturalism;
  • is the property of the learner;
  • values the full range of the learner’s language and intercultural competence and experience regardless of whether acquired within or outside formal education;
  •  is a tool to promote learner autonomy;
  •  has both a pedagogic function to guide and support the learner in the process of language learning and a reporting function to record proficiency in languages;
  •  is based on the Common European Framework of Reference with explicit reference to the common levels of competence;
  • encourages learner self-assessment (which is usually combined with teacher assessment) and assessment by educational authorities and examination bodies;
  • it incorporates a minimum of common features (outlined below) which make it recognisable and comprehensible across Europe;
