Teaching and learning materials

The European Language Portfolio should become our official European document showing our knowledge of foreign languages. It supports the acquisition of communication skills which are so important for living in Europe. The Portfolio encourages us to collect documents about our communicative competence in various languages, to learn self-assessment according to the synchronised European criteria created by the Council of Europe in the Common European Framework of Languages, to add self-awareness to our learning, and to set successive learning goals. We can make use of it when transferring to another school, looking for a job or when dealing with foreign institutions. Teachers will find it a useful assistant doe explaining and synchronising teaching and learning requirements. It will also help them to assess individual pupils and to keep records of all the tests and work carried out by the pupils during their foreign language learning in one place. In future, Europeans of all ages could have their own language portfolios.
