European Language Portfolio

The EUROPEAN LANGUAGE PORTFOLIO and language learning at university
This version of the EUROPEAN LANGUAGE PORTFOLIO (ELP) has been specially designed for use in universities across Europe. It accommodates all levels of language proficiency, from beginner (A1) to advanced (C1 and C2), and can be used by students who are learning one or more foreign languages (i)as their main focus of study, (ii) as a subsidiary part of their study, or (iii) in order to give added value to their study. It can also be used by students who are not currently learning a language but who wish to gather evidence of their language proficiency in order to support applications for study or work.

It is designed to support pupils aged 6 to 12 years learning the major national languages of Belgium (French and Dutch) but also in the learning of Rumanian, Turkish, Spanish and Italian. It is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and it corresponds to the levels A1, A2 and B1. The ELP is available in four multilingual versions:
- Dutch-French-Rumanian
- Dutch-French-Turkish
- Dutch-French-Spanish
- Dutch-French-Italian
The portfolio encourages pupils to reflect on their knowledge of languages and to develop their language learning not only at school but also at home or during their leisure activities. The purpose of the portfolio is to stimulate the autonomy of the learners and to valorise their knowledge of languages and intercultural skills. By using this portfolio pupils also reflect on how they study a language; Howard Gardener’s theory of multiple intelligences is used to make suggestions on facilitating language learning.
