Rózsahegyi Ágnes: The portfolio as a possible means of second language acquistion

As one of the many aspects of modern project pedagogy, portfolio offers both teachers and the L2 learners (henceforth Ls) an effective means to develop language skills and strengthen informal as well as formal language acquisition. The necessity of lifelong learning requires Ls to attain and advance their learning strategies, reinforce cognitive competences, and use reflection in their learning processes. These lessons inspire Ls to feel responsible for the quantity and quality of their general and L2 knowledge, as – to some extent – it is them, who define the content and form of the learning material.
On the other hand, portfolio is also an effective method of assessment and self-assessment Thus it also contributes to the development of objective self-esteem and confidence.
In the first lesson(s) (Portfolio Part 1) Ls clarify the main features of portfolio and then they do some of the Treasure Hunting in order to tune in the topic. In the main phase (Portfolio Part 2) they do tasks on their own basically at home. In the final phase they introduce their portfolio and reflect on it. In order to achieve the above mentioned goals the communicative approach is used mainly applying the methods of cooperative language teaching. The topic is film related and can be used independently from any course book, however, it was meant to be the optional material to Unit 2 New English File Advanced, Oxford.
