This model of the European Language Portfolio for use in primary schools in the Netherlands has now been superseded by the web-based portfolio model 89.2007 - see the dedicated website www.europeestaalportfolio.nl for more information (in English and Dutch only).

For pupils in primary education the European Language Portfolio has the same structure as that for other types of schools. Therefore when a pupil changes to secondary education, by simply changing 'profile' all the information in the portfolio will be transferred. The ELP for primary education is different from that of the other school types. Its design has been made more attractive, with more colours, pictures and easier language. The can-do statements are illustrated by clear examples provided with extra explanations. This is more suitable for the target group. Under language progress, only two levels have been included for the five language skills: A1 and A2. Pupils at a primary school will normally not achieve levels beyond A2. If, in some individual cases, for instance immigrants, this happens the profile for secondary education can be used. The ELP for primary education can be used for foreign language education at all primary schools. It can be especially helpful in cases of intensive foreign language teaching, for example in dual language situations or early foreign language teaching.
