Dear Parents,
Your children are in the process of creating their Language Portfolios.
They are collections of your children’s work inside and outside the
classroom and will follow them throughout their school life.
This Language Portfolio is your children’s property. They can
choose what to include in it. It is a tool to accompany their
learning of languages throughout their school life and is suitable for
documenting their learning when they are changing schools,
moving to another level with a different teacher or when you are
moving to another country. In practice, portfolios may include
project or other examples of written language work, computer
diskettes (with some work or drawings completed inside or outside
the class), video cassettes (with their favourite story or with
performances of songs, school plays, etc), audio cassettes (with
songs performed by your children, etc), certificates, reports from the
teachers, or even a collection of objects or pictures. It is a
collection of what your children want to keep as evidence of what
they are learning through the medium of the English language. The
main emphasis is on the process of learning. As a result, while
compiling their portfolios, your children develop the skills to be able
to work independently.
It is a good idea to guide them in keeping their work neat and
tidy so that their work is well organised and will endure for the
remainder of their school life. Every time something new is added
to the dossier, help them to record it.
Thanking you in advance for your cooperation.

How to organise your Language Portfolio
You can include in your Language Portfolio almost anything you have
produced or collected that proves your progress in English. We suggest
you keep your work in plastic envelopes so that it remains in good
condition.
In practice, your Language Portfolio can be in any shape or size
according to the material you choose to store.
Your Language Portfolio can include any of the following:
