Experience in Implementing the European Language Portfolio ELP with Turkish Adult Learners

Abstract

The article sets out to highlight the principles and goals of the European Language Portfolio ELP , which is designed to promote life-long foreign language learning and to strengthen intercultural experiences at all levels of education. The ELP’s origins are discussed and its relationship to the Common European Framework of Reference CEFR , another basic Council of Europe tool, is clarified. The ELP's two main functions are presented and its three obligatory components are described in detail - i.e. the Language Passport, the Language Biography and the Dossier. The impact of the ELP on foreign language learning and teaching across Europe and beyond is also discussed, as well as the ELP models and their implementation. Finally, the principal design features of the adult ELP are described
