From the abstract: Originally used in artistic circles, the portfolio is quickly gaining ground in French as a second language teaching and learning. For example, the European Language Portfolio (ELP), under the auspices of the European Council, is a tool that is rapidly adaptable to advances in Web 2.0 technology. In this context, we draw a portrait of the portfolio in French as a second language (FSL) education and cite the advantages of the electronic portfolio. Finally, we draw on empirical results, from a specific eportfolio, eduportfolio, to illustrate its potential for FSL teaching and learning.

This book is a classic. While it does not describe e-portfolios or the use of portfolios in the context of learning a second language, it is a must read for those who want to immerse themselves in the spirit of portfolios. The authors truly are able to guide teachers in “developing classroom practices and traditions that reflect a students centered approach to assessment.” Very inspiring. (ap)

From the abstract: This article aims to reshape the prevailing perception of assessment into one of a positive and powerful tool to guide learning, teaching, and advocacy. Emphasis is placed on the importance of becoming assessment -literate, developing a balanced assessment system, using assessment results to motivate learners and mold instruction, and sharing data to inform stakeholders and advocate for language learning.
