Portfolio
According to Council of Europe portfolio supports the development of learner 
autonomy, plurilingualism and intercultural awareness.
Its main aims are:
• to help learners give shape and coherence to their experience of learning and 
using languages other than their fi rst language
•  to  motivate  learners  by  acknowledging  their  eff orts  to  extend  and  diversify 
their language skills at all levels
• to provide a record of the linguistic and cultural skills they have acquired (to be 
consulted, for example, when they are moving to a higher learning level or seeking 
employment at home or abroad
Each pupil should keep his or her works to demonstrate their achievements in 
their  studies.  These  works  are  kept  and  evaluated  by  a  teacher  during  the  whole 
school year.
At the beginning of the portfolio there is a title page with the name and other 
information about the pupil, including the photo. Next, there is a list of Pupil Book’s 
Units.
For  each  unit  the  pupil  should  make  a  fi le.  It  can  consist  of  pictures,  essays, 
graphs,  opinions,  crosswords  or  any  creative  work  which  refl ects  what  the  pupils 
learnt in the unit. 
In the multimedia DVD there is a selection of sample portfolio works for each 
unit. They can be used as possible models, which help the pupils develop their own 
ideas.
