A Letter for you
5
Dear student,
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 some work or drawings completed inside or outside
the class), video cassettes/DVDs (of your favourite story or of 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 the work which you have chosen 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 progress.
We hope you really enjoy doing these activities.

e.g. I think that friendship is all about understanding
and encouraging each other. I also think it’s really
important to be able to trust a friend in difficult
times. When I was in hospital with a broken leg,
it made me so happy when my friends visited me
and brought me presents! I choose friends who
will help me and not discourage me. I do have
arguments with my friends, but I always try to
listen to their side as well. Perhaps the most
important thing is making up again afterwards.
