Digital humanities: the electronic language portfolio as a tool for instruction and evaluation

Abstract

This article intends to make evident that the electronic language portfolio can be both an excellent mechanism for evaluation as well as a didactic tool. The language portfolio is well recognized internationally, both by all the members of the European Council, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, the United States as well as in Canada, and has been the impetus behind various projects. An electronic portfolio is a digital version of a paper portfolio promoted by the European Council. This paper will also analyze different classifications of learning strategies which will demonstrate that the electronic language portfolio can be considered a very useful and efficient learning tool.
