| Body | This lesson introduces language learners to the purpose of portfolios. It offers an overview of what they are, as well as outlines the different phases of reflective practices. It is appropriate for all language learners, especially those just beginning with LinguaFolio, LinguaFolio Online, and the new resources offered by LinguaGrow.
Learning Outcomes;
Learners will be able to:
- Explain the purpose of language learning portfolios
- Identify the phases of ongoing reflective practice
Mode(s): Not applicable
Materials: Language Learning Portfolios Overview Video, EdApp micro lesson
Procedure:
- Either individually or as a group, begin the EdApp micro lesson.
- Watch the first video segment featured in the lesson (Slide 3) as a group. This segment will offer an overview of the purpose of language learning portfolios.
- Either individually or as a group, learners will complete the interactions in EdApp that follow the first segment.
- As a group, watch the second video segment featured in the micro lesson (Slide 8). Then ensure that all learners can see Slide 9, the screenshots from the vision board image. Provide five minutes for the learners to discover the phases of ongoing reflective practice that are hidden in the screenshots.
- Learners will verify their answers by completing the interactions on Slide 9 in EdApp.
- Finally, watch the last segment of the video in EdApp (Slide 10). Either individually or as a group, instruct learners to complete the remaining interactions.
- As a final check for understanding, ask learners reflection questions about the summary slide (Slide 14) in EdApp. Specifically, ensure that they articulate their ownership in ongoing reflective practice, can summarize the purpose of language learning portfolios, and can articulate the four phases of the SPAR Model.
Notes:
- Though this lesson is written with a synchronous learning context in mind, EdApp lessons are perfect for learner self-study. In lieu of introducing the lesson during instructional time, educators may prefer to have learners complete the lesson at their leisure.
