Short description of the presentation
This presentation will first address the importance of an explicit presentation
of the National Standards for Foreign Languages (5 C's) to students.
Teachers should discuss the 5 C's with students, instead of just quietly
implementing the 5 C's into their teaching.

To assess student performance on the 5 C's, ePortfolios are ideal, so in the
second part of the paper, the benefits of ePortfolios will be discussed. The
portfolios include compositions, graphics, video clips, and sound files.
WebCT's Student Presentation tool works well for students to create their
ePortfolios. The presenter will also share students' reactions to the project.
