TitleLinguaFolio: Lifelong Language Proficiency Documentation
Body
From http://www.ncssfl.org/links/index.php?linguafolio

The LinguaFolio is a document in which those who are learning or have learned a language can record and reflect on their language learning and cultural experiences. LinguaFolio is a student portfolio comprising three components: (1) a language biography, which includes information about a student's language background and intercultural activities; (2) a language passport, where formal assessments and a student's self assessments are recorded; and (3) a language dossier, providing samples of a student's work over time. LinguaFolio is a document in which those who are learning or have learned a language at school or outside school can reflect on their language learning and cultural experiences. It is a tool that can accompany language learning throughout life and is suitable for documenting language abilities for various uses.

The Virginia Department of Education began a pilot phase of the LinguaFolio Virginia for high school and university students in 2004-2005. Since then the program has expanded to include 5 states: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Georgia.
