About the Book

Almost 600.000 learners have worked with one of 90 validated European Language Portfolios in 28 European countries (Scharer, 2008). Using constructivist principles and autonomous learning techniques the ELP has been pioneering innovative and cutting edge approaches to learning languages that can be applied to learning across the spectrum. Although articles on the success of the ELP project have appeared in some academic journals The Impact of the European Language Portfolio on Education is the first book to report on and contextualise the project's innovative techniques for a wider educational research audience. The ELP has become a reference tool for language learning and teaching in primary, secondary and tertiary educational settings all around Europe The editors of this volume believe that there is a need to reflect on the significant contribution that the ELP has delivered for language learning and teaching, and to critically evaluate its achievements. This volume aims to offer a range of investigations from theoretical studies to practical cases around these issues. The volume will focus on relevant contributions of the ELP to language pedagogy assessing the impact of the ELP on pedagogical research and practice exploring and defining pathways for future developments Reflective learning
