As a consequence of the CEFR, the Council of Europe
introduced the European Language Portfolio as a
means of helping language learners to:
Keep track of their language learning as it happens – set learning targets, monitor their progress, and assess the results of their learning.
Record their language learning achievements and their experience of using other languages and encountering other cultures.
The European Language Portfolio helps to develop
language learning skills. It is a personal document
that consists of three parts:
A language passport, where the learner can summarise his / her linguistic and cultural identity, language qualifications, experiences and contacts with other cultures...
A language biography, where the learner sets learning targets and he/she can record the language learning process.
A dossier, where the learner organizes samples of his/her work.
