| Title | LinguaFolio Online Network by Mandy Gettler, CASLS Associate Director |
| Body | LinguaFolio Online, a portfolio assessment tool, allows students to collect evidence demonstrating their communicative abilities to themselves and others. It also documents intercultural experiences and reflections that enhance language learning and cultural understanding. When used successfully, LinguaFolio Online supports learner-centered classrooms. To help educators most effectively implement the portfolio system, CASLS has updated its resource site, LinguaFolio Network. The website includes text and video tutorials for educators and students.
In addition, the website includes access to LinguaFolio Jr., a paper-and-pencil portfolio developed by the National Council of State Supervisors for Languages (NCSSFL) specifically for K-5 students. LinguaFolio Jr. lays the foundation for helping younger learners answer questions about what they are learning and why, thus preparing them for success inside and outside of the classroom. |
