e-Portfolio content: !process or product?!
A question you need to ask yourself before integrating portfolios in your classroom:!
Do I want students to assess the processes (and strategies) used to learn a language OR do I want students to reflect on their final products?!
OR BOTH???!
Reflecting on processes!• Students upon the connection
between the communicative competencies and their acquisition of the language!
• Students use “I can…” statements to verbalize their strengths and learning of French!
• Students use “I need to…” to establish goals and determine what is needed to improve! My department is slowly working
towards this type of self-assessment!
