Introduction
• The portfolio has a function of information
A portfolio is a personalized document, a property of the
learner, which testifies of its route of learning, of its efforts,
its acquisitions, its diplomas but also its personal
experiences and its realizations.
• The portfolio has an educational function
The update of a portfolio helps the learner to participate in a
aware and active way in his learning and to value all which
contributes to enrich him and to diversify him.
This approach helps the learner to manage themselves
through the process of acquisition or training in which
they have undertaken and to direct the learner at best of
their motivations and their needs. They join in a strategy
of learning to develop the autonomy of the learner. On
the initiative of the Council of Europe, portfolios
document the skills in foreign languages (followed
teachings, certifications), the intercultural experiences
(contacts, stays, journeys), and the personal
experiences of their holders.
