European Language Portfolio

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.
