About Students' Portfolios
12.09.2012, 11:53
 
This will be used to store a wide variety of other documents and material.
In practice, Language Portfolios may include
  • projects or other written work;
  • computer diskettes with work or drawings completed inside or outside the class;
  • video cassettes with the students’ favourite story, filmed performances of songs, school plays,
  • Evaluation Sheets and reports from teachers,
  • various realia or pictures and so on.

In short, it is a collection of what the learners want to keep as evidence of what they are learning through the medium of the English language.

This Language Portfolio is the student’s property. It is a tool to accompany the students’ language learning throughout the course and is suitable for documenting their learning both inside and outside the classroom.
The main emphasis is on the process of learning, so that while compiling their Language Portfolios, learners develop the skill of working independently.
The aim of the Language Portfolio is to develop the learners’ autonomy.
 
The students will need a folder, plastic envelopes, etc.
 
 
Sections:
I) Language Passport
 
II) Language Biography
– All about me: Students fill in their personal information and record their exposure to the English language.
– How I learn: The purpose of this section is for both students and teacher to be able to determine each student’s individual learning style (i.e. visual, auditory, tactile/kinaesthetic) and needs.
- My World of English:
By updating the record, students get a sense of achievement in the target language.
– Now I can: Students have the opportunity to assess their own learning. If a student moves to a new school his/her teacher will also be able to gauge this student’s level.
– Future Plans: Students record their intentions and ambitions concerning their improvement in the target language.
 
III) Dossier
The activities have been designed to reinforce the language covered in each module / unit / topic. They can be done upon completion of each module or at a time convenient to the teacher, provided that students have covered the corresponding module.

There is no absolute ‘best’ method of learning; these are all valid learning styles, as different people learn in different ways.
 
  • Visual Learners need to see the teacher’s body language and facial expression to fully understand the content of the lesson. They think in pictures and learn best from visual displays, including diagrams, illustrations, transparencies, videos, flashcards and handouts.
  •  Auditory Learners learn best through verbal explanations, discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say. Written information may have little meaning until it is heard. They often benefit from reading a text aloud and using a tape recorder.
  • Tactile/Kinaesthetic Learners learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around them. They may find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by their need for activity and exploration. These learners express themselves through movement. They have a good sense of balance and hand-eye coordination. By interacting with the space around them, they are able to remember and process information. Role play, pairwork and other classroom activities are good for them.
