present and former students of a foreign language as a means to present information related to their linguistic
skills. It is an electronic document which serves students of a foreign language as a means to present information

obtained in a formal educational setting or through extra-curricular contact. It is owned by students. It consists of
three parts: a language passport, a language biography, and a dossier.

The electronic version of language portfolio offers great advantages in comparison with the paper portfolio. It is
easy to update, print and transport. Students can have access to their portfolio and see their progress via Internet.
It allows to conduct an ongoing evaluation of the learning process, promotes a quick feedback and motivation. It is
easier to fill out and modify than a paper portfolio. It shows progress on short and long term objectives and makes
success evident. It offers a low-cost and cutting-edge tool to evaluate and keep track of students’ learning
process.
The goal of this didactic experience is to develop self-regulation language learning skills through a systematic use
of an e-portfolio. It was implemented as a part of the required coursework of the Senior Seminar. It consisted of a
project that students had to turn in at the end of the fall semester of their last year and served them as a digital
multimedia resume that they could send out to their future employer.

The electronic language portfolio encourages students´ autonomy and maturity in language learning, as well as
makes the success of students, teachers and educational institutions more evident, more visible easier to measure
and to document. The language portfolio is well recognized internationally, both by all the members of the
European Council, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, the United States as well as in Canada, and has been the impetus
behind various projects.
