Assessment: European Language Portfolio

The junior version of the European Language Portfolio is a Council of Europe initiative. It provides pupils with a record of their achievements and progress in languages. It is:

  • a way to celebrate language learning and intercultural experiences
  • an open-ended record of children's achievements in languages
  • addressed to and is the property of the learner
  • a valuable source of information to aid transfer and transitio

The Portfolio has three parts and is accompanied by a teacher's guide:

1. My language biography
A personalised learning diary making children aware of their achievements as they learn.

2. My dossier
Where learners can file work and materials to illustrate the achievements recorded in the Language biography or Language passport.

3. My language passport
An overview of the learner's knowledge and experiences of different languages, including cultural experiences.

IPA (International Phonetic Aphabet)

FOR TEACHERS
The IPA was invented as a set of standard international symbols for writing down sounds, so that it could be possible to show in writing how to pronounce any language in the world.

The Teacher's manual uses just a few of its symbols - see example, right.

You can find the whole phonetic alphabet on the website of the Association that develops and maintains how IPA is used:

http://www.langsci.ucl.ac.uk/ipa/

http://www.langsci.ucl.ac.uk/ipa/ipachart.html
- for the complete phonetic alphabet.

Introducing IPA
In the Teacher's Manual: the symbol for thge 'an' sound in 'France' can be checked against the pronunciation of other words.
